MISSING: Robert McLaughlin – Sept. 25, 2017 (Jacksonville, Florida) The Missing and Unexplained Podcast

35-year-old Robert McLaughlin, also known by "Royal Francis and "Rob Francis," went missing from Jacksonville, Florida, on September 25, 2017.  Robert was last seen in his apartment sometime around 10 pm. He left behind his personal belongings, including his wallet and ID, and his car was also left at his building. Robert has a gold tooth, a chipped right tooth, and tattoos on both his arms and is said to have had a full beard and was wearing a black shirt and shorts around the time of his disappearance. He's about 5'10 and 210 pounds. A few years before his disappearance, Robert was in an accident that left him with a severe head injury that impacted his short and long-term memory.I was able to get a hold of Robert's former roommate Bella. Bella is close friends with Robert, who lived with him in Florida at the time he went missing. She has since moved back to the Netherlands but continues to search for what happened to her friend. In 2020, Bella started a podcast titled #findrobfrancis and detailed the information she knew leading up to his disappearance. Bella came on the show to talk about Robert, her podcast, and what may have happened to her musically gifted friend.The Charley Project Find Rob Francis PodcastFind Rob Francis Facebook Page—Support the show on BuzzsproutSupport the show on PatreonSupport the show on Buy me a Coffee—DISCLAIMER:The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are that of the creator and do not necessarily reflect that of any of the guests on this show.

From 2001-2014, over the course of 14 years, more than 40, 000 Canadian soldiers participated in the longest war in Canadian history. Now in 2021 many of these Canadian Afghan war vets are fighting a different fight: Their fighting to get these same interpreters who helped them in Afghanistan to safety in Canada. This is the story of these interpreters, the crucial role they played in helping the Canadian Armed Forces, and their ultimate journey to try and seek shelter in Canada…In this third and final episode I talk to an interpreter named "Khan" who underwent an epic journey to try and make it to Canada.  —Support the show on PatreonSupport the show on Buy me a Coffee —If you would like to donate directly to the interpreters, please check out: Veterans Transition NetworkAfghan-Canadian Interpreters  —FACEBOOK: @truetothestorypodTWITTER: @Truetothe_StoryEMAIL: tyhooper8@gmail.com—Credits: Theme Music: We are Giants, Silver MapleVO Music: David Celeste, Pattern View Writing, Producing, Interviewing, and Editing: Tyler Hooper Sound Engineering and Mastering: Manfred Lotz
