Bumping for Robert - it's now been over 30 years since his disappearance.

I wonder if the car he was driving (his mother’s car) was ever found and also curious about the abdomen scar from a gunshot. Details are shady. Found one article with information surrounding his disappearance. He actually did not return home on Dec 15, 1991 and was reported missing on Dec 17, 1991.

Every time I look at Mr. Arnao’s profile, I wonder if the photos on NamUs are of the same person.
The dark, thick, textured hair vs. the lighter, straight hair, the noses are different, the cheekbones too, and there’s a mole in the B&W photo that you don’t see in the color one. I know moles can grow at any time, but if that B&W photo is of Mr. Arnao, I’d expect the mole to be listed as an identifying mark since it’s something you’d notice right away, unlike a "gunshot wound scar on the center of his abdomen" that is usually hidden under clothing.

The article mentions Mr. Arnao left his insulin at home. Since the car was never found, maybe he had a seizure and drove off the road into a body of water?

Based on what is known, I fully agree with your suggestion.
