Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP24994) and 5 other sources
In the spring of 1999, a young man named Robert Gilbert Vigil, age 29, vanished from Pueblo, Colorado, leaving behind a life and a family. The last time anyone had contact with him was on April 1, 1999. On that day, he was seen wearing blue jeans and a striped shirt. Robert, a resident of Pueblo West, was driving a light purple 1999 Kia Sportage SUV with the license plate number VFL5336. After that day, all communication from him ceased, and he has not been seen or heard from since.

The details surrounding Robert's disappearance are limited, creating a painful void for those who knew him. Authorities from the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office were tasked with the investigation into his sudden absence. At some point after he was last seen, the Kia Sportage he had been driving was discovered abandoned. This discovery, however, did not lead to any immediate answers about his whereabouts. There was also concern that he may have been armed with a. 40 caliber Smith & Wesson handgun at the time he went missing.

Years have passed since Robert Vigil's disappearance, and his case has grown cold, yet the hope for answers endures. He is described as a white male with very dark brown hair and brown eyes, standing at 6 feet tall and weighing around 150 pounds. He also wore a mustache at the time he went missing. The investigation remains open, a silent testament to a life interrupted and a family left to wonder what happened on that April day. The lack of resolution has left a profound and lasting impact on his loved ones, who continue to await any information that might bring closure. His case is a somber reminder of the many individuals who disappear each year, leaving behind questions that echo through time.
