Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP25612) and 5 other sources
Robert Edward Julian Jr., aged 45, was last seen on August 21, 2005, at his residence in Melrose, Florida. He and his friend, Charles Walden, vanished together after leaving Julian's home at around 5:00 p.m. They were believed to be traveling in a rented silver 2005 Buick Rendezvous SUV with Florida license plate number Q992ZU, which has also never been found. The two men disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and no contact has been made with them since that day.

Just three days before their disappearance, another close friend of both men was found murdered, though it is unclear if this event is directly connected to their case. Julian's disappearance remains unsolved, and foul play is suspected due to the suspicious timing and the fact that their vehicle has not been recovered.

Authorities are still actively seeking information that may help solve the case and encourage anyone with knowledge of the men's whereabouts to come forward.
