Robert William Smith, a 16-year-old from East Chicago, Indiana, has been missing since October 25, 2000. Known by his nickname "Bobby," Robert was last seen at his home, wearing a navy blue hooded sweatshirt and jeans. He has distinct physical features, including a scar on his right eyebrow, a scar from stitches on one of his arms, and a pierced left ear.

Robert’s case has remained unsolved for over two decades, with little information available regarding the circumstances of his disappearance. His family and investigators have made several attempts to find leads, but his case remains open and unresolved. Several agencies, including the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and NamUs, have kept his profile active in hopes of gathering new information that could lead to his recovery.
No confirmed sightings or significant developments have been reported, and the case remains one of the many unsolved disappearances in Indiana. His family continues to search for answers, and law enforcement urges anyone with information to come forward.Last Seen: Oct 25, 2000
