Bump.

I assume this is the Roger Curtis Levell who was vice president of the Omaha Hells Angel chapter and arrested for supplying heroin to an agent of the Bureau of Narcotics in 1970. The 1971 disappearance date would then relate to his failure to appear for trial in February 1971. More information can be found at Hells Angels MC criminal allegations and incidents - Wikipedia. Some further details of the drugs bust can be found at the appeal record at UNITED STATES v. HALEY | 452 F.2d 391 | 8th Cir. | Judgment | Law | CaseMine.

I think he was born 23 September 1944 in Douglas, Nebraska as his ex-wife has a twitter account where she comments of having been married to 'the best Hells Angel from Nebraska' in 1969 (and names him).

It is very unclear to me whether he went missing to evade justice or was killed, perhaps by his chapter, to avoid compromising others. I am also unsure where the 1978 date comes from.

AgencySouth Lake Tahoe Police Department, (503)-542- 6100, case #120171El Dorado County Sherrif's Office (503)-621-5655, case #91-23844
Other NotesDecedent was found at a campsite. Sunbacker shoes popular from the 1960's to the early 1980's, sold as a JC Penny brand. Seem to have been discontinued around 1986-1987.

Robert possibly being found at a campsite would make sense if he was hiding from the law, and the locations are fairly close too. It gets cold up in South Lake Tahoe camping so maybe camping a bit down the mountain was optimal.
 
The match is worth exploring. I am now pretty sure he did not disappear in 1971 (although it is possible he did so temporarily due to the court case). This is because LE raided his house in April 1972 in connection with a bombing of a state liquor inspector (see John Duprey House 6066 Buckingham Avenue Omaha Nebraska). It seems unlikely they would have done so specifically investigating him if he was missing at the time.
