The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in locating a missing adult. Robert Franklyn Hart, 31, has not been seen or heard from since Monday, April 19, at approximately 4:30 p.m.
Hart was last seen while at the Publix, located at Burnt Store Road and Pine Island Road in Cape Coral, with a co-worker. Hart’s co-worker informed detectives the two men were inside Publix when they got separated. Hart’s co-worker searched the store, but could not find Hart so he went home. A later review of the store’s surveillance video shows a male resembling Hart walking out of the store around 4:30 p.m.
Investigators have no reason to suspect foul play. Friends and family say Hart has been acting depressed and are concerned for his emotional state of mind.
Hart is described as a white male, 6-foot-3, 140 pounds, with short dark hair and brown eyes. He is clean shaven and has several tattoos. The most distinctive tattoo is a large Scorpion on the back of his left calf and ankle. He also has a large scar on his right shin. He was last seen wearing a light pair of pants and dark colored button up shirt.
Hart lives at 6011 Bomar Lane, Bokeelia.
