Where do you guys think he is? Here are my ideas:

He is living somewhere in the wilderness, in a cabin or shack (his AMW profile said it was his childhood dream).
He is an avid outdoorsman, survivalist, and hunter, so he could live out there indefinitely off the grid; just as long as he lives in an area abundant in fresh water (such as near a lake or river), and has lots of live game to hunt. He would also need sources to make fire, which shouldn't be too hard to get.
He probably on some occasions pops into civilized areas, but only to obtain absolute essential items he can't get in the wilderness (such as clothing or tools).

Ya he is probably living in a tent or something in the woods. He could be dead him self though

Who was he? Was he ever profiled on UM?

kadrmas15 · 03-26-2010, 12:24 AM

Yes he was profiled on UM back in 01, 02, somewhere in there. He is on the FBI's ten most wanted list. http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/fugitives/fisher.htm

He murdered his wife and his two children, ages 12 and 10 in April of 2001 in Scottsdale, Arizona. He did not just kill them though, he blew up the house to cover up evidence. Fisher had in the past worked as a Fireman and also had worked as an Emergency Room surgery tech. So he was experienced. He actually had a delayed device, he stuck a candle I believe by his gas heater and turned the gas on, but he knew it would take a while before the gas would build up to the level that it would ignite with the candle burning. So he was already out of town before the thing blew up.

I don't think he live in the wilderness. Either he committed suicide in the wilderness(under a rock or something) or he have started another life in another country.

JackKerouac1989 · 10-12-2010, 01:26 AM

The lack of discussion on this case puzzles me especially since it bears similarity to the Willaim Bradford Bishop case.
I think there is a big chance Robert Fisher is alive and he has yet to be caught

If he went through all that trouble to disappear I doubt he killed himself.
I still can't believe a man would do that to their wife and children.
There is a place in hell reserved for people like Robert Fisher and Brad Bishop.

Apostapler · 10-12-2010, 03:58 AM

Okay I'm really trying to remember this case. Is this the one where he blew up the house, and then they were expecting to find his remains nearby but never did? I can barely remember this.

TracyLynnS · 10-12-2010, 08:52 AM

I read the FBI page but I don't remember the case. What was his motive? If it's like Brad Bishop or John List, he may have wanted to get away from pressure and responsibility.

As far as being a survivalist, didn't Eric Rudolph (the bomber) hide in the woods for about 5 years? He lived off the land but IIRC, he also stole supplies to survive and was seen at least once during that time. He may have also had help from friends and family because he and they were connected to some kind of white supremacy cult and they believed in his "cause". (I don't know much about that part of the case.)

Would Robert Fisher need help from the outside?

According to AMW, it really is a Brad Bishop thing. He killed the whole family, then went on the run with his dog. The dog was recovered.

I was thinking that it was possible that he was also a victim who just hadn't been recovered. (There was some woman who's aunt's house blew up and they couldn't find the aunt for weeks or months, and allegedly, some psychic led them to the body. She'd been there all along, close to the house, and was overlooked in the search.) Obviously, with the recovery of the dog and the getaway vehicle, it's unlikely that this guy is an innocent victim.

The way he murdered his family is violent and sickening, also like Bishop. His wife was shot and her throat slashed. Both kids, ages 10 and 12, had their throats slashed.

If he's still alive, he's been out there for 9 1/2 years. I'm going to go look up more info...

JackKerouac1989 · 10-12-2010, 08:54 PM

The similarities to the Brad Bishop case are scary.
Both Men murdered their wife and children.
Both men spared the life of the family dog.
Both Men were 40 when they commited their murders.
Both Men's whereabouts are unknown to this day.
Both Men are monsters

slasherman · 10-13-2010, 01:45 AM

Cases like this happens all the time. We have a case here in Norway right now where a father murdered his three children and his wife. The only difference is that he committed suicide afterwards. Either way it is a sick thing to do.

xxxxmattxxxx69 · 10-13-2010, 05:51 PM

You'd be surprised that most psychopathic killers won't hurt animals especially ones they grow attached to. But Brad Bishop's case is more like that of John List except List we know has since deceased

sffan · 05-16-2011, 09:32 PM

I'm surprised this case isn't discussed more here. It has been 10 years and this man still hasn't been found-dead or alive. He is also on the FBI's 10 most wanted list. This is a horrible case and it need to be solved. Robert Fisher could be a friend, or coworker of yours. He could be anybody, hopefully he will be found soon.

DarkDante · 05-17-2011, 10:15 AM

I think he's dead in a cave in that forest somewhere. I have a strong feeling that he committed suicide shortly after her murdered his family. I know his wife's sister thought that if Bob had intentions on taking his own life that he would've just killed himself at the house with the rest of his family but I'm not sure that type of thinking holds true here.

Bob was an emotionally disturbed individual who seemed to bear deep emotional scars from his own parents' divorce to the point where I'm sure he actually convinced himself that by killing his family (in particular his children) he was actually saving them from the same trauma that he went through when his parents' divorced.

I believe after he murdered his family, he went to one of his favorite places and gave up the ghost. I believe that someone will stumble upon his remains in that forest someday. However as we've seen many times on UM, people who choose to take their own lives in vast desolate areas often take a very long time to locate which I'm sure is part of the reason why they choose to take their lives in places like this in the first place.

But no again I don't think Bob Fisher is alive. He committed suicide shortly after he murdered his family.

This was on Americas Most Wanted last night! I bet he is in a small town, if he is still alive. The way they (the detectives) are talking, he would be in a place he wouldn't be recognize.

Lots of UM's are popping up on AMW more and more. 2 in last nights.
