Robert Linder

Robert “Wayne” Linder, property 24, vanished from Chicago, Illinois connected June 2, 1969.

Wayne was attending DePaul University successful 1969 and was majoring successful business.  On the time of his disappearance, helium took a last exam, past went to a slope to retreat wealth for a deposit connected an apartment.  This was the past confirmed sighting of Wayne.

Wayne was from Arkansas, and his household inactive lived determination portion helium was successful Chicago attending college.  The circumstances of his disappearance are truthful vague.  He indispensable person been moving locally from 1 residence to another, arsenic the last exam indicates helium had been successful Chicago agelong capable to implicit astatine slightest 1 semester.  I privation determination was much accusation connected wherever helium was moving from and moving to, and whether determination were immoderate issues that prompted him to move.  Were his belongings near down astatine his aged residence?

I did a hunt successful the Illinois Unclaimed Property database, a assets I occasionally look to erstwhile the spot a missing idiosyncratic was surviving is chartless and perchance relevant.  I lone recovered 1 introduction for a Robert Linder with an code successful Chicago, and I don’t judge this to beryllium the aforesaid Robert Linder.  This peculiar spot is proceeds owed from a beingness security policy, and our Robert Wayne Linder’s contiguous household were each inactive living.  It’s benignant of unusual that his slope equilibrium wasn’t listed, though.  We cognize helium had a slope relationship successful Chicago since helium was known to person withdrawn funds from it the time helium vanished.  As acold arsenic I tin tell, Wayne has not been declared deceased, truthful if helium near immoderate wealth successful his relationship aft making that withdrawal, adjacent if it was lone a fewer dollars, it should person been reported to the authorities and listed arsenic unclaimed.  Unless helium had the relationship jointly with idiosyncratic else, nary 1 other should person been capable to retreat from it.  This leads maine to wonderment if helium took each his wealth retired of the relationship that day, either nether duress oregon with an intent to permission of his ain accord.  It’s besides imaginable that the deposit connected the flat required him to bare the account.

Aside from the evident mentation that Wayne could person been robbed since helium had conscionable withdrawn a ample sum of money, it’s worthy mentioning that his disappearance fell during a clip that galore young men were disappearing voluntarily to debar the draft.

It appears that Wayne had a duplicate brother, Mark Linder.  I’m not 100% definite they were identical twins, but their yearbook photos look remarkably alike.  Both brothers were progressive successful theatre during their precocious schoolhouse days.

Wayne had returned to Arkansas for his brother’s wedding conscionable months earlier helium disappeared.  Since his relatives lived respective states away, it astir apt took immoderate clip for anyone to recognize helium was missing.  If helium was successful the process of moving, his lack whitethorn not person been unexpected by immoderate roommates oregon neighbors.  This could explicate wherefore nary media accounts of his disappearance could beryllium found.

If inactive alive, Wayne would beryllium astir 80 years aged today.  His parent passed distant successful 2014 astatine the property of 91; her obituary listed Wayne arsenic deceased.  His member is inactive alive.
