WA WA - Robert Eugene Hampton, 17, Port Orchard, 26 Nov 1986

[sasha17]

Robert was last seen the day before Thanksgiving in 1986. He was dropped off at his home by a family member and was never seen again. He is white and has brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a multi-colored flannel shirt (possibly with a blue, green and white pattern), blue jeans, and hiking boots.

Bumping up for Robert.

I can't find any additional information about his case.

I wonder what his family and LE believed may have happened at the time.

It is however a little odd that on the same day as Robert's disappearance Frederick Sigo also goes missing from Port Orchard WA.

And a little interesting. I wonder if law enforcement in Port Orchard realized this back then and discussed it with the two families.
What happened to these two young men?

Robert Hampton and I attended the same high school in 1986, he was just one year ahead of me and we used to see him walking around town. Alexis Owens then went missing just 5 1/2 months later from Port Orchard, WA on 4/15/87. I wonder if the two cases could be connected. Two missing teens within 5 months in the same small town.

Is there somewhere I could speak with you , more directly?

I realize by your wording that you may not have known Robbie well, but any bit of information could help.

I am Robbie’s family & I can verify, but would prefer not to do so publicly, out of an abundance of caution.

That very much depends on WHO in our family you ask.

Has anyone looked into John Doe 1988 from Miami? When researching John Doe 1988, I circled back to Robert.

Bumping. I hope the family gets closure on this case in the years to come.
