[FONT=Verdana,Arial]Missing Mystery: Reopening a cold case[/FONT]

A twenty-eight year-old mystery, whatever happened to Robert Allen Meredith? To this day the family has no idea why an Evansville husband and father suddenly disappeared in 1979.


Robert Meredith's wife was the last known person to see him alive. She tells 14 News they got into a fight in 1979, she asked him to leave and he was never seen again.


There's no missing person report on file at the Evansville Police Department and his wife admits she never filed one.

Robert Meredith had at least eight children with four wives throughout his life.

Many of those children, like Tammy, didn't know about each other until they began looking into their dad's disappearance, "I found Denise and Renee two weeks ago and I'm happy."

Robert Meredith's children have now joined forces in an effort to find out what happened to their father.

Linda went to the Evansville police in 1992, in an effort to revive her brother's case.


It was then she learned, they never knew about it. But by 1992, Robert Meredith had already been declared dead by his ex wife, Tammy's mother, Brenda, "He left me heartbroken, but I had two kids to raise."

Detective Guy Minnis just recently met with Meredith's loved ones and has agreed to look into the case, "This is going to be a tough case. He disappeared in 1979. He was declared dead years later, there's no body, he could be using another identity. We just don't know anything"


Robert Meredith would be 67 years-old. His case remains a mystery as does the case of his best friend's murder David Moore.

Details of Disappearance​

Meredith was last seen in Evansville, Indiana sometime during 1979. His wife stated they got into an argument, she asked him to leave and he did. He has never been seen again.

Meredith's wife stated she received collect phone calls and letters from her husband in Tampa, Florida after he left. No one else heard from him, however, and there is no hard evidence of his existence since he disappeared in 1979. His wife later divorced him, remarried and moved on with her life.

Meredith's sister called the police to inquire about his case in 1992. It was then that she learned Meredith's wife had never reported him missing. He has at least eight children by his four wives; many of the children did not know about one another's existence until the start of the investigation into his disappearance.

One of Meredith's ex-wives had him declared legally dead after his disappearance. She stated she thought he would have come to visit her and their daughters if he could have, and since he hadn't, she believed he was deceased. None of Meredith's loved ones believe he would have simply walked away from his life.

Police began an investigation into Meredith's disappearance in 2007, twenty-eight years after he was last seen. His case remains unsolved.
