Have you ever had an Unsolved Mystery?

She sounded like she was out of it. She did kind of have that "Judy Hyams is alive and she lives in Omaha" vibe to her. Might have been a UM fan pulling a prank

I think anyone who is involved in Genealogy at all winds up with Unsolved Mysteries all the time.

I can't track down my great-grandfather on my mothers' side. She was adopted and he apparently went out for a pack of smokes back in the day and still hasn't made it back.

I managed to track down her parents, which was the much harder part as she was adopted.

I agree with what you said about genealogy. I had my DNA run thru ancestry a year after I posted in this thread. It answered a few questions but raised a lot more than it answered.

It didn't happen to me, but it happened to someone in my town....

There was a guy in his late 30s, the kind of person you know, but you don't know, kinda like a friend of a friend, he lived a few streets away from me. Well in 2018 he started to get letters from a bank asking him to get in contact with them in order to "discuss his account"

The thing is he didn't have an account with this bank so naturally he thought it was a scam, the kind of thing where you call them, give them some details and they steal your money, your identity or both, so he ignored it.

But the letters kept on coming, month after month after month... all looking really official. he then believed that maybe he had opened an account when was he younger, maybe for the first job he had, but still couldn't work out why they'd send him letters 20 years later and he was convinced he'd didn't open an account there anyway.

So he decided to call them and they asked him if he could go into nearest bank which was only 15 minutes away on foot on the main street in our town, so the next day after lunch he puts his coat on and went down there. the thing is, he never came back.

For some reason even though his wife has hounded the local newspaper and national newspapers, it's been ignored, LE don't even take her seriously. they even asked her "to consider the fact he could have ran away with another woman"

he left the house that day with nothing, no cell phone, no wallet, just his keys...

his credit cards haven't been touched.. and the letters that arrived monthly from the bank all of a sudden stopped.

That is frightening to be honest. I mean, he goes to his local bank, what could possibly happen there? If anything you figure he would be told that no he doesn't have an account. How can he end up missing like that? What happened? Yeah that is a true unsolved mystery. Do you happen to know the name of the man? Because I am guessing he is on the Doe network and I would love to read up on that case. It has me intrigued.

It's funny i got this notification because i was talking about this at christmas with someone who knew him, but theres still no update, nothing....

I'll try and give you some more details. I think the letters began in 2017, towards the end, he recieved letters from Chase bank which had his name on, obviously his address and looking really official with even an account number, they asked him to get in touch regarding his account.

For about 2 years or more (i'm not 100% sure) he ignored them, his wife joked "maybe theres a million bucks in there!" but naturally he thought it was a scam, like i said, a way of getting information at random so they can rob you. he ignored it..

It went on and on...until finally he called them, BUT he made a point of calling CHASE not from the number on the letters, but the number from google...(this number was on the phones out going call list so we know thats who he called)

They told him to go into his local Chase whenever he could, so the next day he went down there only taking his keys with him, this was around 2pm...but then he never comes back.

His wife notices his cell phone and wallet still on the table, the car in the driveway (she had come back from picking the kids up from school) thinks it's strange but waits a few hours, when he doesn't come back she calls his friends and parents, brother...nothing, they hadn't seen him since the day before... she starts panicking...

She gets in the car and goes looking around town, nothing. about 10pm she goes and reports it to the police, says it's strange...the cops at first seem really interested, i mean it's a small town...but then suddenly a few days later blow her off.

The next day she goes into the bank and asks them, they give her some bizarre mixture of "he wasn't here and even if he was we couldn't tell you.."

she calls the number which was still stored on the outgoing calls list (again chase) who tell her that they've never had any interaction with him...

Days pass, weeks... she goes to the local newspaper and even nationals looking for help and even though they listen to her, never publish a story, nothing...she goes to see the police everyday who seem not to care, one of them sits her down and says:

"maybe you should entertain the fact he ran away, who knows? another woman? vegas, atlantic city?"

So who knows, theres a feeling that he was lured there.. i mean his credit cards havent been touched, no car, no cell.. where did he go? there must be a link between this and the bank letters right?

His name is Robert Parker

That seems so odd, and creepy. Not sure how much the letter had to do with anything. Could be a fantastic coincidence considering it is a well known bank and someone wouldn't have lured him there from the bank to kill him. And I can't see how they could have without anyone else knowing. He would have left but without his wallet? That's strange too. Also bizarre that the police sort of shook it off assuming he left for another woman.

I can't find a thing on him. Not on Youtube, Google or the Doe Network. Maybe I am missing something here. Is there a link to this case?

I remembered a couple of things after posting yesterday...Even though the phone registers a call made to chase bank that lasted over 6 minutes, chase say they never got a call from him, the letters also stopped when he went missing and chase claim they never sent him any letters to begin with.

Another thing is that robert had just changed cell phone, his wife later found the old cell which had been switched off for about a month, when she switched it on it was full of missed calls and voicemails but just silence...

I'm convinced that his disappearance has something to do with the letters, because why would they just happen to stop? when his wife went down to the bank the day after, they acted all wierd, she asked the first person who told her "he's not been here" then when they got the manager "customer privacy means even if he was here, we can't tell you" she also asked them if theres any CCTV and although it was less than 24 hours later, they gave her some bizarre story about changing the tapes...

I don' think it's strange he left without his wallet or cell.. the thing is where his (and mine) house is, if you cut through where the high school football field is, you can be on main street within minutes, i've put my sneakers on and ran down there when i've needed something maybe a sandwich or whatever and just grabbed some money and not bothered taking anything else..

And that's the thing! theres nothing on him, anytime his wife and family try and get someone interested in the case they brush it off. I mean i didn't really know him, he was the kind of person that i knew his face, i knew of him so i can't really say "he wouldn't have done this, he would have done that..." but the idea he went out with no wallet, no cell, no car, nothing.. but he's ran away to vegas with another woman is insane!

Theres something going on, something with the police. his wife about a year after he disappeared was at the store, she was loading her car up with the groceries when she saw the wife of one of the cops she had spoken to, she was walking towards her with a look on her face "like she wanted to tell me something but changed her mind at the last minute"

Someone knows something.

That is awfully bizarre. If it had to do with the bank, then we are talking about a major bank orchestrating a killing of a man for some reason, and the police covering up for them again for some reason. If all of this stuff is true that you are posting and it went down the way it did, then a lot of people are involved in this. To vanish in broad daylight is just unnerving. There is always the possibility that they used the bank as a means to get him out of the house. And that it was a great impersonation of the bank (eg. the letters, the call, etc.) But yeah, it doesn't pass the smell or eye test here.
