Robin Smith was last seen on September 2, 2008, near the Pine Grove Campground in West Rosebud, Montana. Robin Smith was currently living in Billings, Montana at the time of his disappearance.

Robin Smith was a 34 year old white male born in Walla Walla, Montana.

He was survived by his ex-wife, Karen Morrison. Sources I found state that Karen advised that Robin’s ex-girlfriend initially called Robin in missing but was not taken seriously by law enforcement.

Days after he was last seen, his vehicle was found at the Pine Grove Campground. What struck me the most was that Pine Grove Campground is an hour and 45 minute drive from his home in Billings.

It was reported (I’m not sure by whom) that Robin was headed to the mountains after losing his job at the casino.

The police changed Robin’s disappearance to “foul play” after reviewing strange evidence surrounding his vehicle and strange characters in his life. I could not find sources that expounded on either the vehicle or people in his life.

Finally, I would note that a man who identified himself as Robin Smith surfaced in Arkansas, after Robin's disappearance. This “Robin Smith” appeared speaking bible talk at a local church. Police responded and eventually released “Robin Smith”, determining that he had provided a false ID. His last name was Smith; however, his first name was not Robin.

Some speculate that that man was the real Robin Smith.

So: (1) Is this a case of foul play? Or did Robin lose his job and head to the mountain with the plan to commit suicide? Or, perhaps, did he head to the mountains to unwind and was a victim of nature? Or, did he use this as an opportunity to start a new life?
(2) If it was foul play, what was the motivation? Drug debt? Love or jealousy (he’s survived by an ex-wife and ex-girlfriend)? Something we couldn’t predict?
I wish we had more information regarding the vehicle and individuals in his life, as it sounds like that could provide further insight into his disappearance.
