Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP22996) and 5 other sources
Robert Lewis Kuhlman, aged 21, was last seen on June 21, 1979, in San Francisco, California. Described as a Caucasian male, Kuhlman stood 6'4" tall, weighed 155 pounds, and had red hair and hazel eyes. He was known to have a quarter-sized birthmark on his forehead and a freckled complexion. His nickname was "Rob." Despite investigations, few details have surfaced about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, and he has not been heard from since.

Kuhlman's case remains open as a missing person investigation. The San Francisco Police Department continues to handle his case, and both dental and DNA records are available for comparison, though no significant leads have emerged. The authorities and his family are still seeking any information that could provide insight into his disappearance.
