UNSOLVED DISAPPEARANCE: ROBERT PILLSEN-RAHIER

When a Colorado teen struggles with the effects of a past family tragedy, local authorities demand that he attend a residential treatment facility for troubled youth, where things take a turn for the worse. After a desperate phone call from her son, his mother prepares to intervene—only for him to immediately disappear. A mother seeks answers that have been withheld for more than 30 years in this episode of Last Seen Alive

Please share Bobby’s missing person poster, which includes an age-progressed photo.
