Robert Curtis Coe, 23, was last seen on March 12, 1978, in Austin, Texas. On that day, Coe left his residence, a duplex located in the Bouldin Creek neighborhood, and walked away from his home on Monroe Street. He has not been seen or heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, Coe was a student at the University of Texas at Austin, and his case remains unsolved. Foul play is suspected, though no definitive leads have been uncovered over the years.

Coe was described as being between 5'10" and 6'2" tall and weighing approximately 155 to 165 pounds. He had brown hair, blue eyes, and was last seen wearing a gray and blue plaid flannel shirt, blue jeans, and brown leather loafers. He may have also been wearing a brown suede lamb-lined jacket. He had a history of depression and was classified as disabled, adding to the concerns surrounding his disappearance.

Despite efforts by law enforcement, including the Austin Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety, Coe’s whereabouts remain unknown. His case continues to be listed as an open missing person investigation.
