Summary

In June 2009, Robert “Bob” Harrod, an 81-year-old beloved father, married Fontelle, a woman he reconnected with after 59 years apart. Fontelle was set to move from Missouri into Bob’s Placentia, California home on July 29, but two days before that could happen, Bob went missing. After a thorough investigation, the police theorized that Bob had met with foul play, possibly because of his multi-million dollar estate. Despite this, his body has never been located. It’s been almost 15 years since Bob went missing, and investigators are still searching for him…

Robert “Bob” Harrod was last seen alive at around 2:30 pm on July 27, 2009 at his house in the 500 block of Carnation Drive in Placentia, California.

Bob is 5’11”, 140 pounds, with blue/gray eyes. He kept his head shaven, but when he went missing, he did have a little bit of gray hair coming in. He was last seen wearing white shorts, white knee socks, a white belt, a white hat, and white Reebok tennis shoes. The color of his shirt is unknown.

If you have any information in this case, please call Orange County Crime Stoppers at 855-847-6227.
