FL FL - Robyn Adler, 22, Tamarac, 19 May 1983

Was the car in a place where it might not have been reported for four days? “Deserted area”, and “dirt road” make that sound possible.

Details of Disappearance

Adler was last seen on May 25, 1983 in Loxahatchee, Florida. She visited her boyfriend in that city that day and was last seen driving her red 1977 Toyota Celica on C Road. She had plans to meet some friends at Bennigan's Lounge in Tamarac, Florida, but never arrived there and has never been heard from again.

Four days after her disappearance, Adler's car was found, with its battery removed, crashed into a tree on a dirt road at the end of 110th Avenue north where the road meets M Canal, in a remote area north of Royal Palm Beach, Florida. There was a sheet of directions in Adler's handwriting for finding C Road in Loxahatchee, several miles southwest from where her car was found.

Authorities stated there was no evidence that anyone had been severely injured in the car crash, and they searched M Canal for Adler's body but didn't find anything.

Adler lived in the 8300 block of Sands Point Boulevard in Tamarac at the time she went missing. Her case is being investigated as a homicide.

At first, I was going to suggest that she was disoriented after the crash, wandered off somewhere and died of exposure or had an accident, but the missing car battery suggests sabotage and foul play.
 
Bumping, today is Robyn’s birthday. She has been missing for 39 years this year.

Missing since 19 May 1983​

 
The boyfriend would obviously have to be the prime suspect in this case.
Theory: they get into an disagreement/argument about her going to meet friends at Bennigan's (there's a blast from the past) and he harms her or worse. In a panic, he puts her in the canal and uses her car battery to weigh her down. 99 times out of 100 this wouldn't work and the body would float up to the surface....but maybe this was the 1 in 100 that it did. Police department supposedly checked the canal but it is a pretty substantial one. There are entire cars that stay down in our canals and waterways down here for decades without being discovered.
All of this is purely speculative on my part.
