Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP83007) and 2 other sources
On a cold winter night in New York, 60-year-old Robert Fitzpatrick was seen for the last time. It was approximately 11:00 p.m. on December 27, 2020, in the New Springville area of Staten Island when he vanished. At the time of his disappearance, he was reportedly wearing a gray jacket, blue jeans, and black shoes. Standing at five feet, eleven inches, and weighing around 220 pounds, with graying hair and brown eyes, his sudden absence caused immediate concern among those who knew him.

Following his disappearance, a report was filed with the New York City Police Department, which prompted an official investigation into his whereabouts. The city's Missing Persons Squad took the lead on the case, seeking assistance from the public for any information that could help locate him. As days turned into weeks and then months, the search for answers continued. The lack of information and the uncertainty surrounding what happened to Mr. Fitzpatrick left his family and community in a state of distress, hoping for his safe return.

Tragically, the search for Robert Fitzpatrick ended in sorrow. He was eventually located and, through positive identification, confirmed to be deceased. The circumstances surrounding his death have not been made widely public. In a painful turn of events for his loved ones, only partial remains were recovered. Due to this, his case is set to remain active within the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. This decision, while procedural, underscores the incomplete nature of the discovery and the lingering questions that may forever remain unanswered about the final moments of his life.
