Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP14270) and 3 other sources
Stephen Robertson, a 56-year-old man from Boynton Beach, Florida, went missing on March 1, 2012. At the time of his disappearance, Robertson was dealing with financial difficulties and suffering from depression. On the day he vanished, he took off from a private airstrip in Boynton Beach, piloting a friend's white Cessna 182. He left behind all of his personal belongings, which raised concerns among friends and authorities.

Tragically, the plane went down approximately 25 miles east of Boca Raton, Florida, in the ocean. Despite efforts to locate Robertson, his body was never recovered, and he is presumed deceased due to the circumstances surrounding the crash. Robertson's case has been classified as a "lost/injured missing" case, and while the wreckage of the plane was located, the exact cause of the crash remains unclear.

Investigators believe that his mental state may have contributed to the incident, given the signs of distress he exhibited prior to his disappearance. The case remains unsolved, and authorities continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward.
