Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP77717) and 9 other sources
Robert Bernard Canuelle, a 59-year-old man from Austin, Texas, was last seen on October 3, 2003. On that day, Canuelle and a companion, Muna Haji, were aboard a boat near the VIP Marina on Lake Travis. Later, the boat was found drifting, unanchored in Cottonwood Cove, with no sign of the two. Canuelle’s truck was also found parked at the marina, but neither he nor Haji were located despite search efforts.

Canuelle, who was 5'8" tall and weighed 160 pounds at the time of his disappearance, had brown hair and blue eyes, and wore dentures. It is believed that they may have been involved in an accident and drowned in the lake, although their bodies were never recovered. The Travis County Sheriff's Office conducted a dive search, but no additional evidence was found.

The case remains open, with authorities and the Texas Department of Public Safety urging anyone with information to come forward to assist in bringing closure to this long-standing mystery.
