In the quiet fishing community of Kodiak, Alaska, the early morning hours of December 6, 2007, marked the last time 43-year-old Robin Andrew Webster was ever seen. He was observed walking down the docks toward the fishing vessel he worked on, the F/V Provider, which was moored at the Transient Float in the harbor. Known by the nickname 'Hillbilly,' Webster was a white male with brown, receding hair and green eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he stood at 5'7' and weighed between 140 and 180 pounds. He also had a mustache and beard that were a mix of brown and graying hair. The circumstances surrounding his last known moments are sparse, leaving his loved ones with unanswered questions.
Later that same morning, a small but significant clue was discovered that pointed to a somber possibility. Webster's hat was found on the deck of the F/V Provider, but there was no other trace of him. This discovery fueled the presumption that he may have fallen into the water and drowned. The Kodiak Police Department, along with the Alaska State Troopers, were involved in the investigation into his disappearance. Despite their efforts, the search for Webster yielded no further evidence, and he has not been heard from since.
The case of Robin Webster remains a painful mystery for his family and the community of Kodiak. The absence of concrete answers has left a void, with the prevailing theory being that he was lost to the sea. As a testament to this belief, a gravestone was placed for him at the Grimes Neeley Cemetery in Jerseyville, Illinois, providing a place of remembrance in the absence of a final resting place. The investigation, managed by the Kodiak Police Department under case number 200707871, serves as a quiet reminder of the day a man vanished from the docks, leaving only his hat behind as a final, silent testament to his presence.
