Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP77659) and 4 other sources
Robert William Trapp, aged 56, was last heard from on December 15, 1965, in Stockton, California. Trapp, who didn't often stay in close contact with his family, was known for sending Christmas cards each year without fail. The last card he sent was dated December 15, 1965. When his family didn't receive a card in 1966, they initially assumed he may have forgotten. However, by 1967, with no further contact, they became concerned something was wrong.

Trapp is described as a Caucasian male, 5'10" to 5'11" tall, weighing between 160 and 180 pounds, with red hair and blue eyes. He also had a scar on his forehead. Despite his family's efforts to search for him, little information is available about the circumstances of his disappearance, and his case remains unsolved. The Stockton Police Department continues to investigate, but there have been no major developments since his last known contact.

The lack of clues surrounding his disappearance has kept his case open for decades, and anyone with information is encouraged to reach out to the authorities.
