Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP87417) and 7 other sources
Robert Blair Sturgill, a 30-year-old man, was last seen on June 1, 1990, in Lucerne, California. At the time of his disappearance, Sturgill stood 5'8", weighed 210 pounds, and had blond hair and blue eyes. He also had a distinct inch-long scar near his left eye. Known to sometimes spell his last name as "Stargill," Sturgill vanished under mysterious circumstances, and no further information has emerged since that day. His case remains classified as a missing person, with very few details about what might have happened to him.

Despite efforts by law enforcement, including the Lake County Sheriff's Department, no significant leads have been found, and his body has never been recovered. Sturgill's case is still active in various missing persons databases, such as NamUs and the California Department of Justice, in hopes of uncovering new information that could bring closure to his family.
