Robert Lugo – The Charley Project

Lugo was last seen on September 10, 1986. His mother said he went backpacking in the Highlands area of Mountain Green, Utah on a Wednesday, and was supposed return home by Friday that same week, but he never came back to his home in West Jordan, Utah. Several days after his disappearance, his motorcycle was found by a local resident, abandoned in Mountain Green.
Lugo had initially invited his sister to go on his camping trip, but she couldn't come because she had two young children to care for. Shortly before he left, he told her he no longer wanted her to come with him because he needed to fight the demons himself. He had taken an interest in various religious beliefs, including Mormonism, Roman Catholicism and dark magic, and the remark about demons may have been a reference to that. His sister stated that during their last conversation he seemed lucid, more so than previously.
An extensive search of Mountain Green involving rescue dogs, aircraft and over 100 volunteers turned up no indication of Lugo's whereabouts. His case remains unsolved.
