Roberson was last seen on February 28, 2006, in downtown Fayetteville, Arkansas, specifically on Dickson Street, where he was enjoying time with friends in anticipation of celebrating Mardi Gras. Unfortunately, he began to feel unwell, prompting his friends to suggest that he return to their vehicle and wait for them to regroup. However, when they returned to the vehicle, they discovered that Roberson had vanished without a trace. Since that day, there has been no word from him, and the details surrounding his disappearance remain shrouded in mystery.In the wake of his disappearance, Roberson's family took immediate action by filing a missing persons report with the Siloam Springs Police Department. The department indicated that they had transferred the case to the Fayetteville Police Department on March 8, just five days after the initial report was made. However, the Fayetteville police have no documentation of such a transfer, leading to confusion and a lack of clarity regarding the investigation's jurisdiction.Compounding the situation, Roberson's mother submitted a separate missing persons report to the Fayetteville police, but they did not pursue an investigation, mistakenly believing that the Siloam Springs police were already handling the case. Meanwhile, the Siloam Springs Police Department assumed that the Fayetteville police were in charge. Adding to the complexity of Roberson's situation, he had two outstanding warrants for his arrest related to a forgery conviction and charges of being an accomplice in drug delivery. There is a theory suggesting that his disappearance may be linked to his potential testimony in a federal narcotics trial, raising the unsettling possibility that he may have been silenced. His case remains unresolved, leaving his family and friends in a state of uncertainty and heartache.
