The search for a Dexter man who went missing at a Wayne County campground is entering its 10th day.

"We're still going on the premise that he's out there and needs to be found," says Sgt. Jeff Woodard of the Bollinger County Sheriff's Department, with regard to the week-long search for a Dexter man, 43-year-old Robert Peters, who disappeared in the early morning hours of July 5 in Wayne County.

Peters, who is insulin dependent and wears an insulin pump, had only about a three-day supply of medication with him when he was last seen.

[Note: The article says the search is in its 10th day AND that he has been missing since July 5. Both cannot be true. In one of the comments below the article, a poster says he has been missing since June 27. That makes more sense. In any case, he needs to be found.]

A Dexter, Mo., woman has spent the past month searching for her husband who was last seen camping at the Hidden Valley campground near Greenville, Mo.

"I'm going through hell," said Vicki Peters, 41. "It's like he's vanished with no trace at all."

The missing man is Robert M. Peters, 43, a businessman who owns two hearing aid stores that he runs with his wife. He's described as a white man with light brown hair, blue eyes and stands 5-feet, 9-inches tall and weighs 179 pounds. He was wearing beige shorts, a light blue t-shirt, sandals and glasses.

The man depends on insulin for his diabetes and normally carries an insulin pump, according to his wife. Without it, he gets disoriented and hallucinates. He also has a broken ankle.

Details of Disappearance​

Peters was last seen at Hidden Valley Campground on County Road 203 off Highway 3 in Greenville, Missouri at 4:30 a.m. on June 28, 2009. He had gone camping with two friends and was supposed to meet his wife and daughters later that day.

Other campers saw a man matching Peters's description repeatedly asking for directions to the campsite. When his companions woke up at 8:00 a.m., Peters was not at the campsite. An extensive search turned up no sign of him and he has never been heard from again.

Peters left behind his pickup truck and duffel bag. His loved ones stated it's uncharacteristic of him to leave without warning; they believe he became disoriented from diabetic complications and wandered away from the campsite. His case remains unsolved.

**Bumping in 2024** I wasn't living in MO when Mr. Peters went missing. That area does have streams, lakes, rivers, hills, gullies and some rough terrain. I also wasn't aware he was from Dexter, MO. I believe he was confused and wandered somewhere he couldn't be seen or heard and succumbed to elements or complications from the diabetes. This is very sad and wish his loved ones could get answers and closure. When people disappear in that area, they are usually found quickly, or never found.
