Details of Disappearance
Allison was last seen at Tri-River Fleeting in Bethel Park near the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on December 21, 1994. He was employed there on towboat on the Ohio River. Allison left work that day intent on going to a bar in west Pittsburgh. He left the boat on foot, headed towards Patriaglia's junkyard, and has never been heard from again.

All of Allison's possessions, including his clothes, money, cigarettes and television set, were found on the boat. His estranged wife stated he would never have gone anywhere without his cigarettes. He also left behind a baby daughter. His case remains unsolved.

Robert E. Allison was already absent from his wife Rebecca's life when he disappeared in 1994.

Married in 1990, they separated a few years later.

“We had differences that we just couldn't work out,” Rebecca Allison said in a recent interview. “I didn't have much contact with him after the separation.”

So when Robert Allison went missing Dec. 21, 1994, Rebecca learned about it secondhand. The Pennsylvania State Police called her seeking information, but nothing ever came of their investigation.

Rebecca Allison, 65, of Moundsville, W.Va., wants to know what happened to her husband, whom she called Bobby and with whom she had a child.

What little is known about Robert Allison's disappearance comes from a missing-person flyer distributed by state police in Waynesburg and a newspaper article published about a year after the incident.

A native of Cameron, W.Va., Allison was living in Waynesburg at the time of his disappearance. He worked for the Ohio River towboat operator Tri-River Fleeting & Harbor Service in Pittsburgh.
Welcome
 
I have the impression that someone attacked him and threw him into the water... perhaps he resisted, it could have been reduced by more than one individual... a smoker never gives up his cigarettes... he always brings them...
either way
rest in peace
