On the morning of April 8, 2011, 33-year-old Robert Lee Hourihan left his home in Palmyra, Virginia, to go to work.

He was last seen around 8 a.m. at the EW Thomas Grocery store in Palmyra, Virginia. Weeks passed before the vehicle he was driving, a white 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier, was discovered abandoned in a Target parking lot in La Plata, Maryland, over 100 miles away. Robert's disappearance remains unsolved, and his family continues to seek answers and raise awareness for his case.
