Connecticut: The Disappearance of Robert Hoagland

Robert "Hoagy" Hoagland lived in Newtown, Connecticut, with his wife, Laurie, and one young adult son. The couple had two other sons. Hoagy was a part-time paralegal, former chef and had his real estate appraiser's license. He was your all-around, average and average-looking 50-something-year-old guy. Until Sunday, July 28, 2013. Hoagy got up early, went to get bagels for him and his son and then paid some bills. He went out to mow the lawn and was seen by a neighbor around 11 am. At noon, his son Max asked to use the car and Hoagy let him. When Max returned a few hours later, his Dad was gone.

Hoagy was supposed to pick up his wife at JFK airport the next day, Monday, July 29th, but he never showed. When he still wasn't back by Tuesday, Laurie reported him as a missing person. All of the family vehicles were accounted for, and Hoagy had left behind his keys, wallet, thousands of dollars in cash in a home safe and his daily medication. Hoagy's family never heard from him again. It was as if he literally just disappeared. Until 10 years later, when his wife, his sons and investigators would get the shock of their lives.
