Missing Persons
Missing person cases are uniquely complicated. First, detectives must determine if a person is missing against their will. Another complication is that there is frequently a lack of evidence that points to a specific suspect. The Major Crimes Unit analyzes all missing persons and runaway reports. If the reviewer suspects foul play, the case is immediately assigned to a Major Crimes detective.
Cases are sorted by decade (on the tabs to the left). Based on factors determined during these investigations, we suspect that foul play may be involved in their disappearances. If you have information on these or any other missing person cases that the Sheriff's Office is investigating, please contact our Major Crimes Unit at (206) 296-7530. You may also email us at MCUTips.KCSO@kingcounty.gov. We are making updates to this site as time allows, this does not reflect our full library of cold cases.

Robert Wykel was a dealer of vintage and exotic cars at the time of his disappearance. Foul play is suspected in his disappearance.

Mr. Wykel was known to travel via public transit to inspect or purchase vehicles and was known to carry large quantities of cash on him. Anyone who may have seen Robert Wykel may remember him by the immense jewelry he wore, but specifically by the abnormally large diamond ring he wore.
