Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4435) and 2 other sources
On a summer day in August of 2009, 41-year-old Robert Edward Morales was last seen by his wife in Phoenix, Arizona. The couple was in the area of North 67th Avenue and West Thomas Road and had made arrangements to meet up later. However, Robert never arrived at their agreed-upon location. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a white t-shirt with a red 'Famous F' logo, blue jeans, a red baseball cap, and white K-Swiss tennis shoes. He also wore glasses with brown plastic frames and a wedding ring. Robert was carrying a black pool cue case when he was last seen. His wife's concern grew when he failed to appear, and he was subsequently reported as a missing person.

Robert is described as a Hispanic/Latino male with brown hair and brown eyes. He stood between 5'11' and 6'0' tall and weighed approximately 205 to 225 pounds. He had a mustache and a goatee at the time he went missing. A notable feature is the name 'Tamara' tattooed on the right side of his neck. He has several other tattoos, including a wizard face on his left shoulder, various faces on his chest, and praying hands on his upper right arm. These distinguishing marks provide a clearer picture of the man whose sudden disappearance left his family searching for answers. The circumstances surrounding his vanishing have led investigators to suspect that foul play was involved.

The days turned into weeks, and then years, with no sign of Robert Morales. His case remains an active missing person investigation with the Phoenix Police Department. The lack of any communication or sightings of Robert since that August day in 2009 is a heavy burden for his loved ones. The case is a collection of last moments and identifying features, a snapshot of a man who seemingly vanished. The known details paint a picture of an ordinary day that took an inexplicable turn, leaving a family with unanswered questions and the hope that one day they will learn what happened to Robert.
