Robert Linares, a 33-year-old male, was last seen on December 11, 1993, in Los Angeles, California. On the day of his disappearance, Linares called his sister, expressing a desire to go to the hospital, stating that he felt like he was "going crazy." This was the last time anyone heard from him. He has not been seen or heard from since, and no further details have emerged about his whereabouts or what might have happened to him after the call.

At the time of his disappearance, Linares was described as a Hispanic male, 6 feet tall, weighing 150 pounds, with black hair. His case remains unresolved, and efforts by authorities to locate him have not produced any leads. His details continue to be listed in missing persons databases, and the search for answers continues to this day.
