Jaw dropping case!! It's just unbelievable!!
Robin never arrived at the restaurant and has never been heard from again. The shopping center is less than one mile from her residence. Her mother's red Oldsmobile, which she had borrowed for her trip to the shopping center, was located near the Burger King restaurant in the mall's parking lot shortly afterwards. Her keys, wallet, purse and checkbook were discovered in a marshy, grassy area behind the center several days later.
Investigators don't believe Robin ran away from home. Less than two weeks before she disappeared, she bought candy and presents for her younger siblings for Easter, but disappeared before the holiday.
She dropped out of high school prior to her disappearance to take a job at the Shop-Rite supermarket, but had decided to return to school and planned to eventually enroll in college and become a journalist. Esposito was questioned regarding Robin's case and cleared as a possible suspect early in the investigation.
Authorities announced that Howard J. Gombert Jr. was a suspect in Robin's disappearance after his arrest on sexual assault and child endangerment charges in March 2000. He was taken into custody after sexually assaulting an eight-year-old girl, as well as his own girlfriend, and was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
When the police arrested him in 2000, they found Robin's underwear hidden in a suitcase in his girlfriend's house; they were able to get DNA from the underwear and match it to Robin. Gombert had no explanation for how it got there. He had previously resided in Carmel and was employed at a laundromat in the shopping center where Robin disappeared, and he knew her. He stated he had spoken to Robin the day she disappeared and asked her for advice about his girlfriend, and they talked for a few minutes.
In the days after she went missing, Gombert attempted suicide and had to be hospitalized. He has never been charged in connection with her disappearance. He has a prior criminal record and had been charged with first-degree rape in 1991, but the charge was dismissed when the thirteen-year-old alleged victim recanted her story shortly after his arrest.
Is this for real? I mean the charley project is reputable afaik, but this seems too sensational!Jaw dropping case!! It's just unbelievable!!

Meghan, the founder and only poster for the Charley Project, is 100% meticulous. Occasionally something on the page isn't correct because it hasn't been updated, but she always, always, bases everything she says on what's reported in reputable sources.Is this for real? I mean the charley project is reputable afaik, but this seems too sensational!
What I don’t understand if this account is true, is under what probable cause did they exact in order to do the search of the girlfriend’s house? They must have specified it was for the reason of obtaining evidence related to Robin’s case? When the DNA matched it wasn’t enough to file charges
It is legit, I have no doubt they got the right suspect in Robin’s case. I just hope they find her body and he confesses to police about what he did to her.Is this for real? I mean the charley project is reputable afaik, but this seems too sensational!

I have a feeling it’s Robin, maybe this will help show Josette wasn’t killed by the two men originally convicted of killing her. If the remains are Robin’s, it’ll cast more suspicion on GombertAn excavator found the remains after digging at the site of a future single-family home near Ice Pond Road and Tommy Thurber Lane, said New York State Police Sgt. Aaron Hicks.
The location is not far, less than three miles, from where the remains of another missing Putnam County girl, 12-year-old Josette Wright, were found in 1995.
Murphy's mother, Judi Allen, lives in upstate Otsego County, and was unavailable for comment. Allen's niece, Lisa Landiver, noted in a Facebook post that the family had not been contacted by authorities. She told the USA Today Network on Thursday that "the speculation has caused too much grief for my aunt."

DNA test dashes hope that skeleton is long-lost Putnam girl's
They were digging at the site of a future home. What they found raised hopes of a break in a 30-year-old mystery. But DNA test put hopes to rest.www.lohud.com
It’s not Robin, as it turns out, but it might still be someone with a connection to Howard Gombert.I have a feeling it’s Robin, maybe this will help show Josette wasn’t killed by the two men originally convicted of killing her. If the remains are Robin’s, it’ll cast more suspicion on Gombert
