CO CO - Robert Thomas Pillsen-Rahier, 15, Colorado Springs, 6 July 1990

[HollywoodBound]

Pillsen-Rahier was last seen at approximately 8:45 a.m. on July 6, 1990 in the vicinity of the 13500 block of south 8th Street in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He was staying at the now-defunct Cheyenne Mesa, a treatment facility for adolescents with mental and emotional problems.

That morning, Pillsen-Rahier called his mother and insinuated that something was wrong, but told her he could not say exactly what was troubling him because the call was being monitored. His mother immediately called the facility to make arrangements to visit him, but was told that Pillsen-Rahier was on an outing. Later the day, a Cheyenne Mesa employee told Pillsen-Rahier's mother he had run away. He has never been heard from again.

Authorities are not certain what happened to Pillsen-Rahier. He has no history of running away and his mother does not believe he ran away. She stated that even if he had, it would be highly unusual for him to have no contact with his loved ones for this long. Pillsen-Rahier's mother had a close relationship with her son at the time he went missing. There is no evidence of foul play in his disappearance. His case was reclassified to a runaway to endangered missing several years after his disappearance; it remains unsolved.

How strange that the facility would claim he was out on a trip wheh clearly he was not. My guess is something was going on to do with someone in charge at the facility that had somehow reached a crucial point!

It would be interesting to know is staff etc at this place were thoroughly questioned.

...Robert has not been seen since.From the beginning, the case has been treated as that of a runaway teenager. Jean, however, insists her son wouldn't have run away -- at least not in the manner suggested for the past 20 years. "When I received the police report, the first thing that caught my eye was this time right here," she says while pointing to a notation that says 8:45 a.m. was the time of Robert's disappearance. "This was about the time that I was on the phone with Bobby." The police report also lists Robert's clothing at the time of his disappearance -- a blue shirt and black pants. "I have the blue shirt and black pants," Jean says. "To this day, it doesn't appear like any of his clothing is missing. I have his clothing."

There are some articles that are pay per view that I can't access about Cheyenne Mesa.

Can someone alleviate my fears and tell me that this place did not treat Reactive Attachment Disorders and also was not using the many forms of treatment for that and various other psychiatric disorders that were proven to end in death of a child? TIA for anyone that can fill me in on this place.
