Does anyone have any info about the area around Ochsner Hospital back in '95? I'm curious if there might have been any construction or significant landmarks near the levee where Bob Perry Austin Jr. was last seen. Maybe someone local at the time remembers something that stood out or if, perhaps, there were any temporary setups that would've shifted around the landscape. Sometimes small changes in an environment can come to mind years later when people start thinking back. Wondering if any of you history buffs or locals have thoughts or recollections from that time that might jog a memory for someone! Every bit of context helps.
Hey everyone,
I've been delving into Bob Perry Austin Jr.'s case, and something that caught my attention is the timing and location of his last sighting. Does anyone have more context on why Bob was at Ochsner Hospital on the day he disappeared? There must have been a compelling reason or event leading up to him running towards the levee.
Also, it's interesting how his case hasn't seen much media coverage over the years. I wonder if local news articles from 1995 might have additional details that weren’t covered more broadly. If anyone here lives in or has access to Jefferson Parish newspaper archives from that time, it would be worthwhile to dig a bit deeper. Even the smallest piece of information could be significant in understanding his state of mind that day.
Let's hope this thread can bring some fresh eyes on the case and who knows, maybe somebody has a lead that could make a difference!
Stay safe, everyone.
I was revisiting some old unsolved cases, and Bob Perry Austin Jr.'s disappearance really stuck with me, especially with so little information to go on. What stands out is his choice of clothing—green floral shorts. It's such a unique detail that I feel could have stuck in someone's memory, given how colorful and memorable they might be. I can't help but wonder if anyone from the area around Ochsner Hospital or the levee remembers seeing something that day in March 1995. Maybe someone walking, riding a bike, or simply looking out their window caught a glimpse of him running and might not realize they have a crucial bit of information. Anyone from Jefferson, LA on here who can recall being around that area back then? Every little detail could help refresh memories!
