Detectives do not suspect foul play in Bob Sarkkinen’s disappearance
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit is seeking the public’s assistance in the ongoing search for Robert “Bob” Sarkkinen, a 64-year-old man who went missing more than seven years ago.
Sarkkinen was last seen on May 13, 2018, in the Battle Ground area. He is described as 5-foot-6, approximately 160 pounds, with grey hair and brown eyes. His family is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads directly to Bob’s whereabouts.
Detectives do not suspect foul play in Sarkkinen’s disappearance. He was known to wander or leave home for extended periods, a habit that has made locating him more difficult. Still, the Sheriff’s Office and Sarkkinen’s loved ones are committed to finding answers.
The case remains open and active under Case Number 18004480. Investigators urge anyone who may have seen Bob or may know anything about his movements in or after May 2018 to come forward.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Clark County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit Tip Line at (564) 397-2036.
