Spc. Robert Hornbeck from the Third ID Missing after Weekend in Savannah, GA
Specialist Robert Hornbeck of the US Military Third ID was last seen in downtown 
Savannah, GA the weekend of April 16, 2006. Hornbeck’s father had made a call to his son and the line went dead. That was the last that anyone has every seen or heard from Robert Hornbeck.
When his father called looking for him, Spc. Robert Hornbeck answered his cell phone and spoke just a few words before the connection went dead: “Dad, I’m on the stairs.”
Since the day that Robert Hornbeck vanished his father Eric Hornbeck has tirelessly searched for his son in all conceivable places.
“He’s got to be around here somewhere, I think within half a mile,” Beth Hornbeck, Robert’s stepmother, told us.
“I’ve looked in alleys, I’ve looked in garbage cans, I’ve looked under bushes,” said Eric.
But still no signs of their son. “We got him through Iraq for the year, but I couldn’t get him through Savannah,” said Eric. “I don’t understand it.”

Spc.Robert Hornbeck just returned from Iraq in January. He only had two weeks of active duty left and was supposed to be getting married in July according to reports. Which has made Robert Hornbeck’s father think the worst possible scenario for his son.
Which has led a father to believe the worst. When asked if he thought his son was still alive, Eric said, “No, I don’t. I think time is against us now.”
