Mr. Spurlock was last seen around 6:30 a.m. on December 2, 1981 at the Wheeler Army Air Field in Schofield, Hawaii. Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, Bobby joined the U.S. Army after graduated from high school graduation and completed his training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. He flew to Schofield for his first assignment after a family vacation and after a couple of days, on December 3, he called his mother's home, begging to speak with her. She was not at home, and his stepfather reprimanded him for being upset, and told him to speak with the Army Chaplain if he was having problems.
Later, Bobby's captain called Bobby's mother and told her that her son had disappeared from his quarters and was considered absent without leave (AWOL). Initially, his mother was told that her son took his belongings with him, but was told later that he had left his belongings behind. They were returned to Bobby's family.
Several leads have surfaced over the years. Initial investigations indicated that Bobby's social security number had been used to seek employment at a Firestone in Akron, Ohio in 1983, but Bobby was not listed as an employee with the company. He had no known associates in Ohio and had never been there. Another tip was that Bobby was seen with a group of Hare Krishnas, dressed in the devotional dress of the group.
