On the evening of April 19, 1993, 25-year-old Robert John "Link" Bornos went out to celebrate a new job opportunity. He visited the Choptank Inn, located on northbound Route 50 in Cordova, Maryland, where he played pool with friends. During the evening, Bornos mentioned feeling unwell and stepped outside to the parking lot. Witnesses last saw him standing next to a blue vehicle.
Approximately one week after his disappearance, Bornos's vehicle was found abandoned in a parking lot seven miles from the Choptank Inn. The discovery added to the mystery, as there was no sign of Bornos at the scene. Despite this development, he was not reported missing until five years later, in 1998.
Bornos was known to be close to his parents and sister. However, his relationship with his wife was tumultuous, with frequent arguments that sometimes required police intervention. This aspect of his personal life has led some to speculate about potential foul play.
At the time of his disappearance, Bornos was described as a 5'8" tall, 165-pound Caucasian male with brown hair and brown eyes. He had a tattoo of a heart on his left arm, a pierced right ear, and wore eyeglasses with dark brown plastic frames. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt featuring the rock group The Who, blue jeans, white tube socks, and orange and white Nike sneakers.

on Vanished at Sea: The Mysterious Disappearance of Cameron Booth Off Chincoteague's Coast
He was a criminal, an abuser, likely who didn't want to face justice of his actions and took his own life because he could not face the consequences of what he did. The victims have told the family his crimes, with evidence. The family knows he was arrested and convicted of possession of CSAM. They know who and what he was. And they're all so equally sick they live in comfort that the victims don't want to retraumatize themselves over everything he put them through. Dont support this families sick parade of using a monster to get sympathy. He was never ashamed of who he was. He loudly boasted his crimes and justified them. The family shouldn't sit there and pretend, how far from reality are they to sit and post this man publicly on news outlets, websites, knowing who he is. Do they need attention that badly? They don't want the attention from the truth. The victims will never get justice. Do not pray for him o
