It's almost two years now that he has been missing. Perhaps there will be something next week? ![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Roberts was featured in an episode of “Disappeared” that aired on Sunday night on Investigation Discovery. The show included interviews with family, friends, Boone Police Department and Appalachian State University campus police members who are still hoping for a break in the case.
did he get expelled after his DUI?It does bother me that they're still not disclosing certain parts of the letter that Martin wrote because "it is personal." I'm not saying that because I'm nosey. I'm saying that because it has been two years...Idk it seems to me I would release any and all info I could with the hopes it would help in some way. (Given I know; I am not in this situation so it is easy for me to say.) But what could be in that letter that they don't want disclosed? Are they embarrassed by something? It just is off-putting to me.

The last time there was a confirmed sighting of Roberts was from security camera footage at the AppalCart bus stop in front of the Holmes Convocation Center on Blowing Rock Road. This was around 12:30 p.m. on April 21, 2016.

I don’t know the answer to that, but knowing the university pretty well, I think it would be unlikely that he would have been expelled because of the DWI. They do have student conduct rules about it, but unless there is a repeated problem, it seems unlikely the student would be expelled. Here's an article about that.did he get expelled from APP after the DUI?

However, you never know how these things are going to affect young people especially. I had a close acquaintance who got in trouble for smoking pot (or maybe a few shrooms, not sure which) on national forest lands up there. He was going to have to go to court and all that. The ranger scared the living daylights out of him to the point of telling him his life was over. Unfortunately, this young man believed him, and took his own life. I'm definitely not saying this is what happened with Martin, but pointing out that major life events such as a DWI can affect some teens in a very negative way.
Also worth noting, the previous school year, the university community had an uncommonly large number of deaths. Some were accidents both off and on campus, and some were suicides. Most notably that year (the year before Martin vanished), a new freshman, Anna Smith, disappeared only a few weeks after school started. She had a thread here, but I can no longer find it. She was eventually found, a victim of suicide. It was very sad. Publicly, LE was treating it as a possible kidnapping or something of that nature, but I knew right away what the outcome was going to be because when we visited the campus a week later for a football game, there were messages on the graffiti wall begging Anna to please come home. :-(

So, after that, there was a heightened awareness of suicide prevention on campus. I'm not sure what that says for Martin's case, but I thought it worth bringing forward.
It's been two years. I sincerely hope for his family's sake that they at the very least find out what has happened to Martin soon. It would bring me the biggest joy in the world if he just walked out of the woods happy and healthy one day.
