Update on Missing Local Dad

A friend of the Mayer family said that Robert Mayer, who went missing June 14, was last seen wearing a grey polo shirt with "J G Electrical Installations, Inc." in white writing. He is said to have been wearing Ray-Ban sunglasses hanging from the shirt collar, light blue jeans, black work boots. He was not wearing a hat.

Robert Mayer, 46, who lives on the Dix Hills side of the Commack School District with his wife Ida and their two children, left for work last Friday for his job as an electrician in Brooklyn, but he never made it back home.

Ida expected her husband home around 3 p.m. that day. She had called and texted him in the afternoon, but he never answered and his phone went dead around 2:45 p.m., she said.

Ida said that police were last able to track Mayer's cell phone signal around Route 110 in Huntington, while he was on his way home around 1:45 p.m.

She said that her husband drove his red 2004 Pontiac into work, but police found his vehicle at the Deer Park train station. She said that she didn't know how his car got there, since Mayer never took the train for work because he worried about leaving his car unattended at the station.

Mayer is unlikely to have identification on him since he left his wallet at home in the family’s garage that morning. 

Suffolk County Police Second Squad detectives are investigating the situation. Police said that no criminality is believed to have taken place at this point, however, detectives are following all leads.

Anyone with information is being asked to call police at 631-854-8252.
