Missing in Goa

Plovdiv · Apr 13th, 2008, 16:27

I've been reading this forum all morning - I'm amazed at amount of people who have such knowlege about Goa.
I'm really concerned about a relative - He's been in Goa since 1999 and set up a night club in Anjuna called the Dolce Vita. I saw him two and a half years ago in the UK with an old woman called Rose. He looked awful - He returned to Goa and since New Year has dissapeared. Does anyone have any news? We just need to know that he is safe and alive.
Any info would be much appreciated. His name is Robert, born in Bugaria but married a British girl. He was a very clever guy who worked as a civil engineer. He moved to Goa with an undesirable gang who eventually dumped him once his money ran out. The club was shut down and he was trying to sell the land to straighten himself out and reuturn to the UK. He had a Goan partner - We have tried calling contacting these people but only silence surrounds Rob's wherabouts.

People, just a gentle reminder that you are publishing your personal details, phone numbers and e-mail addresses to the entire world.

This is such an interesting topic. Has anyone ever been found through such a forum? We get several reports a year. Just wondered if there ever was a result..

Hi,
Robert has a new DJ name, thats called scareface, he Djed at my restaurant-pub abt 40 days back, i dont know where he is now, he did come often, but from the last 2 weeks no sign of him.....

Plovdiv · Apr 17th, 2008, 23:43

2 weeks ago - well that is some good news. This information is very much appreciated. Many thanks. Is your bar situaited in Goa? Did he seem OK? I'm not sure how he is managing to survive. Is there anyway of checking if he's OK? I've heard that he is homeless and broke. His mobile was being answered but its not him and they just listen and then end call -this has been happening since mid Jan. Its so strange as Rob would never refuse a call from his son.

Indira has a restaurant in Anjuna. She should be able to get you an update on his condition/whereabouts. Alternatively I can also get you the information that you are seeking.

Plovdiv · Apr 18th, 2008, 00:11

This would be really appreciated. His mental and phsical condition is my main concern - I'd like to try and help him somehow.

I'm really so very grateful for your replies.

Mod Note

Ploydiv and Rhienna (and anyone else)... ...

Can you two please post some e-mail address so you can contact each other privately? You'd be well advised to use temporary ones for your own privacy and because they will start attracting spam the moment they are put on the net. Please do not publish any further personal information.

I am not comfortable with this public discussion of the private life of a third party. Accordingly I have withheld your posts of today.

This board is visible to the entire world, members and non-members alike. People tend to forget that.

Publishing other's personal details is against the rules of the forum. If this continues, the thread will be deleted.

Plovdiv · Apr 19th, 2008, 01:13

Thanks for the info

Rhienna · Apr 22nd, 2008, 15:36

Moderator - Apologies for disclosing so much personal information.

Does anyone have any news?

R - have waited for a call - do you have my number?

Any info is really appreciated.

capt_mahajan · Apr 26th, 2008, 07:38

Plovdiv, a suggestion: open a new email account (which you can discard later) and post that email id here. That way, whenever Rhienna or anybody else wants to contact you about this, they can.

Good luck.

Plovdiv · Apr 26th, 2008, 14:06

Good idea - thanks.

Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Plovdiv · Jul 6th, 2008, 00:04

I'd like to say many thanks to everyone at at IM. The information provided did prove very useful but now we have have come to a dead end. He seems to have disappeared - Vagator was the last known sighting- has anyone seen him since? If you have could you please email me at sweetd96@yahoo.co.nz.

His son and myself are planning to come out in October - just a visit. Please let him know if you know of him.

GoanCanuck maybe you can help us?
Any info regarding Rob will be much appreciated
