Robert was last seen on June 14 at 2:15 pm, at a scrap yard in West Babylon, NY, where he would visit occasionally to scrap copper from the jobsite he was working at in Brooklyn. From there, nothing is known of his whereabouts, but his 2004 Pontiac GTO was abandoned at the Deer Park LIRR station. His seat was moved forward, and everything was missing out of his trunk. The club he used to secure his steering wheel was also not in place. His next destination should have been his home in Dix Hills, by car. He doesn’t take the train, because he doesn’t trust those parking lots, he would actually go to great lengths to avoid parking there.
A Facebook group has been started to provide ideas and support to Rob’s family. “Robert Mayer Search Group” is a place where over 2200 people, many of whom have never met the Mayers, meet to plan searches, create and distribute fliers, or leave words of support.

A $ 10,000 reward is being offered by the family for any information that leads to finding Rob. We ask that anyone who has information on Robert Mayer, no matter how trivial you think it might be, to please call Suffolk County Police at 631-854-8252.
