At the end of January, we covered the 2017 disappearance of Robert Baron in a two-part series. Robert had mysteriously vanished from his pizza shop in Old Forge, Pennsylvania. Investigators quickly realized this was serious after discovering Robert’s blood and a tooth inside the restaurant. Days later, the vehicle Robert was driving turned up in Old Forge with more blood inside. They believed that Robert had been murdered, but his case went cold. Six years into the investigation, we shared the case with you. Robert’s family was convinced they knew who was responsible and were upset that the district attorney would not proceed with an arrest. About eight weeks after our series aired, there was a major break in the case.

If you have any information regarding the murder of Robert Baron, please contact the Lackawanna County District Attorney’s Office at (570) 963-6717. 

UPDATE: On May 15, 2024, Justin Schuback was found guilty of first-degree murder, burglary, and robbery.
