On July 28, 2013, Robert Hoagland was last seen buying a map along with fuel for his car. This was the last time anyone ever saw Robert before he disappeared.
Police investigated several sightings of Robert nearby over the next year but failed to find him. His case was featured on an episode of the Investigation Discovery channel series called Disappeared.
Robert was a local chef and property appraiser. He went missing a day before his wife was returning from an overseas trip. They had three sons and lived on Glen Road in Newtown, Connecticut.
