I have recently found my birth family after 38 years.  This should be a time of happiness, and don't get me wrong it is, but there is one thing missing and that is my brother Robin Mangrum.  I found out that he has been a missing person since August 25, 2005.  I have been told all the same stuff that you have printed over the last 6 years about when he went missing and what he was wearing and all the normal missing person information being published.  That DOES NOT answer the why or the where!!

There is such an empty place in my heart knowing that I will more than likely never see him other than in pictures and through stories told by others.  He has two children that love and miss him dearly, a mother and brother that are heart-broken and an entire family that needs CLOSURE. 

If anyone out there knows anything about his disappearance PLEASE come forward and let us know. You have a family too and what if the roles were reversed? Wouldn't you want for someone to help you?  I don't care if it is done anonymously because you are scared, just do it.  I am hopeful that one case-breaking tip will eventually come about to give us the closure we need.

Waiting one week to hear any news about Robin was hard for the family. Waiting eight weeks was torture. Waiting twelve months was an absolute nightmare. To know that he is out there somewhere and we can't find him is the worst feeling you could ever possibly imagine. It gets worse, not better with time. It has been a long and painful process, waiting for the news, letting the police do their job, hoping that we are wrong about foul play but the one lead we have has pretty much led us to that point with no one acting on it.

Somebody, somewhere MUST know what happened to Robin. Someone saw what happened that day, knows where he is, or overheard a conversation. I can understand you being too scared to come forward but what if this was your son, your brother, your husband, or your dad? Walk a mile in our shoes and feel our pain. All we want is to lay him down to rest, to bring him home. One anonymous phone call, saying where he is, no one will ever know that you called. We just need to find him, please.

Just know that I will not rest until he is found.  I will search until I take my last breath to find the brother that I was never able to meet.
