In the spring of 1995, a young man named Bob Perry Austin, Jr. vanished under perplexing circumstances from Jefferson, Louisiana. On March 10th, the 19-year-old was last seen fleeing from Ochsner Hospital. Eyewitnesses reported that he was running in the direction of the nearby levee. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing only green floral shorts and white socks, with no shirt or shoes. Since that day, there has been no contact from him, and his whereabouts remain a mystery. The reasons behind his presence at the hospital and why he fled have not been publicly clarified, leading to speculation that he may have been a patient. Details surrounding Bob's life and the events leading up to his disappearance are scarce. He was an African-American male with black hair and brown eyes, standing at 5'10" and weighing approximately 155 pounds. The lack of information has made the investigation challenging for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, which has kept his case open for decades. Over the years, his case has grown cold, with very few leads to follow. Despite the passage of time, his family and community have been left without answers, holding on to hope for some resolution. The case of Bob Perry Austin, Jr. is a somber reminder of the lasting impact of a person's disappearance. For over two decades, those who knew him have lived with the uncertainty of what happened on that March day. The investigation, which is being handled by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, has been hampered by a lack of substantial information from the outset. With no new evidence or witnesses coming forward, the circumstances of his flight from the hospital and his subsequent vanishing remain an unsettling and unresolved chapter in the community's history. His case is classified as an endangered missing person.
