- Details of Disappearance:
- Robert Goodman disappeared from his Gainesville, Florida apartment on July 15, 1989. He was supposed to go to Miami for surgery that month, but he never made it. His apartment was unlocked, his car was in the driveway with his keys inside, and the lights and air conditioning were on. His luggage (including clothes, bike, and golf clubs) was packed in the car, but he left his medicine behind.
It’s suspected he went to Seattle, Washington. Before he disappeared, he cashed a check for over $500 – enough money to travel there. Two months later, his mother received a Washington state car registration from Bellevue, Washington. Goodman had lived in Seattle for a year three years earlier.
Although he’d left home before, he always took his car and told his family where he was going. This time, he didn’t. Goodman was a University of Florida graduate and former stockbroker who often walked to relieve pain. The police never found him, and his disappearance remains a mystery.
