Who is Robert Mayer?



He is the father from Dix Hills who vanished without a trace back in June. I follow it daily and it's very sad. I thought everyone knew about it but I guess notChat Icon

I googled him and JUST saw it.

Wow.

Just on the surface it's all too much o a coincidence....leaving his wallet at home the day he dissapears? I hope he walked out rather than him being the victim of robery. At LEAST that way he is alive.....no matter how much his family will be angry, he will still be alive.

I feel very bad for the wife and kids. I hope they all find out what happened....

Re: Robert Mayer? Any info

I haven't been following the story too closely, but I was under the impression that the police had closed their investigation because there "was no foul play". From what has been written on here (I know, I know Chat Icon ), doesn't that usually translate to "he probably walked out"?

Sad regardless though and if that's the case, what a douche rather than just being honest he wanted out of the marriage.

The original fb page still exists but it has been made private due to some pretty negative comments. Another page was created and that one was public but it has been removed.

As it stands he still has not been found and it is still an active police investigation. They are still looking.

I agree.

I'm a member of the FB group as well- although I don't post.

I think the problem stems from people asking (reasonable) questions and the moderators rudely shutting them down saying that the page exists solely to support the family.

I would think that any questions should be heard (although maybe not answered on the page). Asking questions means people CARE. Once people stop caring- the search is over.

I agree. People are trying to support them but, get shut down for trying to play detective. Maybe one of those questions would spark something.

I also think it's weird that they just announced that not only was his wallet found at home but, the 300$ he got from the scrapyard and his cell phone were found about a week later in drawers in the garage.

Part of me thinks this means that he walked away.. but, the other part thinks.. then why leave the 300$? Wouldn't he need it if he was walking away from his life.

I know. But, if he didn't need it why go to the scrapyard, cash in the scrap metal, and then a few hours later go home and leave the money in the drawer? It just doesn't add up. It wasn't money he was leaving home for his family to live on. Not enough. Unless he was trying to throw the police off. It's weird that he was described on the scrap yard video as worried and fearful or something like that. Then again, It was the wife who interpreted that. And then there are the other guys in his union who went missing. I have heard that the particular union he belonged is very heavy into organized crime.

I don't know what to believe. I just know that the family needs answers either way.

I think that was just to throw everyone off.

I think it's possible he took off because he pissed the wrong people off. I think he could possibly be in hiding.

Re: Robert Mayer? Any info

With the new released information, it certainly sounds like he skipped town. Dont know why he would come all the way home to disappear though. he was already in the city. Why drive back to the island to cash in $300 worth of scrap only to drop it off at his house for 10 minutes with his phone and wallet and then drive to Deer Park train station to disappear? Just odd Chat Icon Below is the new released information.

As this is an ongoing investigation, per instruction from law enforcement, certain information cannot be released to the public. The detectives are now allowing the following additional information to be released:

* Rob’s wallet was found in the garage around 4pm on June 14th, after Ida realized he was late in coming home. At that time, $300.00 was also found in a drawer in the garage.

* Approximately a week after Rob disappeared, detectives told Ida that a neighbor’s camera had spotted something "red" by her driveway on the 14th. The "red" was assumed to be Rob's car; seen approximately at 2:41pm and then again (pulling out of driveway) at 2:51pm. Ida was not home at this time; Ida’s car is seen pulling into the driveway at approximately 3:00pm. Only the top of Rob's car was seen. Rob was not seen -- nor was anyone else.

* Upon learning this information, the garage was thoroughly checked and Rob's cell phone was found in another drawer. It was turned off. By this time, it was known that the transaction at Arrow was for approx $300.00, which explains the $300.00 in the drawer.

* Again, no one actually saw if Rob was home, but someone left his phone and money in the garage. We cannot be certain if it was Rob who was home, or if someone was with Rob, or if it was not Rob. If it was Rob, it is not understood why he would come home for 10 minutes and then go back out. Ida usually would have been home at this time. There is no evidence of Rob receiving or making a call during those 10 minutes.

* Nothing from the house is missing -- no clothes, luggage, personal items, important documents ... nothing. No note was left; nothing of importance was found.

The above information was withheld while being investigated. Detectives were monitoring calls still coming into Rob’s phone. We could not release this information without being told by law enforcement that it is okay to do so.

Woke up this morning thinking about this case. Based on the post above ... I wonder if someone led him to his home to place the cash from the scrap place and his cell phone in the garage and remove his mountain bjke to make it look like he left.

I do find it odd that his car (which he loved and reportedly would never park in a train lot) was found there. Also odd how that train station is said to not have cameras from what I read.

It almost sounds like it was planned (and maybe not on his own accord - maybe he was taken)?

Just so strange. I almost hope he did leave on his own rather than being a victim.

From what people said and his wife, no one would think he would leave. I know many think he did, but would you believe your DH would up and leave? Kwim?

But if taken..or murdered god forbid.. What was the motive?

So unsettling. I keep thinking of his children.

Interesting about the phone and cash. Sounds like he went home for whatever reason. Maybe to get a secret stash of clothing, etc. Put his bike in his car. Drove to the train station. Moved the seat to get the bike (which explains the weird position it was found in), and left town. Sad for his family, as it's pretty rotten to do! Maybe he had a whole other life, who knows. Still hoping his wife gets the answers she deserves.

The whole stopping home thing bothers me. He was home for less than 10 minutes. His wife would ordinarily be home. She came home less than 10 minutes later. What could have been in the house that he could not have taken at 4:30 a.m. when everyone was sleeping? A large sum of cash? Why did he need the bike? If he took the bike on the train, it is not like he was going to "blend." If he was not taking the train then why the train station? If he was getting picked up, why park where he did?

Suicide and he rode into the preserve on bke to do it? There have been lots of searches done already. Odd that they havent found him.

Witness Protection?

If it was foul play i cant understand the risk of dropping the phone off at the house.

My brain hurts thinking about it. I just wish his family had closureChat Icon

I was looking for info on this teacher that has disappeared and been found twice, and came across a group of people that try to solve these things.

It's interesting, but most seem to be in agreement he left on his own.Websleuths

Websleuths is great! Be warned, huge time sucker though, which is why I don't go on there much anymore. I love reading people's theories though.

I know this is a crazy theory but, could the wife have had something to do with it? It's just odd she's not home when she's supposed to be, & He or his abductor comes to the house in that small window of time?

Interesting theory and one I thought of too after reading stuff

I just can't see disappearing and returning to leave 300 ans your cell. It's just odd. If you were to up and leave your family, you'd go to work and not come home right? Or not go to work at all, you know? Maybe ditch your cell somewhere.

Why would you plan to leave and go to work and (presumably) go back home when you wife would likely be there? Wouldn't that be risky? Even if you were trying to stage being a victim?

Hitting up scrap metal place after work, getting cash, bringing that exact amount back home and then disappearing is just odd. If he DID take off, I bet he has help. But he sounded like such a dedicated father. Just hard to believe.

And disabling a Facebook page to help spread the word is weird IMO. If you got bad comments, delete them or who cares? It sounds like the wife was mad at people asking her for info to help her and she wasn't giving enough info or something. Not that she deserves to give anyone anything, but you'd think it would help. I'm not being judgmental though, who knows what state her mind is in. I would be a wreck.

Just so strange.
