Robert Wykel was a retired sheet metal worker living in Burien, Washington. Our case begins in February of 1996 when Wykel doesn't return from a routine trip to purchase a vintage vehicle, which he fixed up and sold for profit to supplement income. Wykel has many friends in the area, so his disappearance does not go unnoticed; even his daughter, hundreds of miles away in Illinois, begins to worry when she doesn't hear from her father. Their worries escalated in March when they were notified Roberts's vehicle had been impounded with no sign of Robert anywhere. Detectives would work for the next 15 years to find out what happened to Robert and who was responsible.
