''Robert "Bud" Wiggins was a speed demon with "more guts than a pork sausage." He loved racing souped-up snowmobiles and building fast cars.

For 29 years he survived high-speed rollovers and drag races over the Prince Albert bridge in his Chevy Camaro. But in 1980, the Wiggins family lost their loving son and brother not to a fast car but — it's believed — to the hands of a killer.

"I think, in the end, he met a violent end," said Wiggins' brother Bill during an interview in January at the city police station in Prince Albert.

"That's what everything points to. Anybody that knows anything certainly isn't saying. He lived a high-risk lifestyle but that doesn't mean he deserved what he got."

Robert Wiggins disappeared after a Prince Albert house party and has not been seen since. It's believed he dabbled in the drug trade, selling pot and maybe a little cocaine. Forty years after his disappearance, both of his parents have passed away and his brother Bill — who was 26 at the time — is 66 years old.''

''Bud had a daughter who was adopted after he died. Later, as an adult, she contacted Bill to ask about her father, only to learn that he was missing and presumed dead.

"[She] really wants to find out about what happened to her father. We told her as much as we can. But we don't know," Bill said.''

''Prince Albert Police are continuing to look for any tips to help them solve a nearly 43-year-old missing person case.
Robert Wiggins disappeared on July 28, 1980. He was last seen by some close friends who dropped him off at a home on 11th Street East and Fifth Avenue just before sunrise.
Weeks after disappearing, Wiggins’s wallet was found near the Radisson with $300 in cash and a cheque made out to him for $67.60.''

''Investigators, including Sgt. Kathy Edwardsen, continue to communicate with Wiggins’s family who recently told them they will never stop hoping for answers.
“Any information, no matter how small, could further the investigation and help bring closure to Robert’s family,” Edwardsen said.
At the time of his disappearance, Wiggins stood 5-10 and weighed 180 pounds.
If you have information about his disappearance, please contact police at 306-953-4222 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.''
