Ten Years Missing
Authorities are seeking information on the whereabouts of Robert Lee Hourihan who was last seen April 08, 2011 – ten years ago. Foul play is suspected in his disappearance.
Fluvanna County Sheriff Eric Hess, in a press release, said the cold case remains open “and we need the public’s help to bring closure for the family. We are hopeful that someone out there may have that vital piece of information needed to help us close this case.”
Hourihan was last seen by his wife on April 08, 2011 when he left for work at 6:30 a.m. He was seen later that morning around 7:40 a.m.
“Hourihan has not been seen or heard from since then,” Hess said in the press release.
Hourihan was driving a white 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier with Virginia personalized license plates of “TARAMAE”. The vehicle also had a Winnie the Pooh sticker on the back window.
Hourihan’s vehicle was later discovered abandoned in a Target Store parking lot in La
Plata, Maryland on May 28, 2011. Even though ten years have passed, investigators
still believe that there are persons out there with critical information regarding this case.
“Robert Lee Hourihan’s family are still seeking answers…We are sorry we have not been able to provide the family any closure in this case,” Hess said.
The sheriff’s office is asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 434-977-4000, or Major David Wells, or Lieutenant Aaron Hurd of the Fluvanna County Sheriff’s Office at 434-589-8211. A cash reward is available for information that leads to the whereabouts
of Hourihan.
