That poor child. Although it's possible, it's difficult for me to process him making that promise to his daughter for the very next day and then driving through 5 states (MA->RI->CT->NY->NJ) to get on a plane and go somewhere never to return. It seems more plausible to me that something happened to him and his car was dumped there - it did stay there after all for a year (?) - how does that even happen without some kind of notification or something? I'll be looking for Mr. Robbins.

Thank you. I am his daughter. Something did happen and his car was dumped. There is a lot more to this case. He didn't intentionally leave.

Thank you.

You are most welcome and I am really sorry. I promise I will keep looking for your Dad.
 
I recently did an interview with NBC. It hasn't aired yet. His case is being pulled from cold cases to active and is with the Prosecutor's Office for now.
We look forward to watching it. Very glad to hear the case is now considered active.
