Missing Person: Robert "Bob" Leo Biggs
Missing Person: Robert "Bob" Leo Biggs 
On December 27, 2016, Robert Leo Biggs went missing from Chimney Rock, North Carolina.
“Bob”, as friends and family call him, had left home in his burgundy and gold Subaru wagon and travelled to Chimney Rock. While there, he visited a local ice cream shop around 11:00 AM, and a store employee was the last known person to have seen Bob.
Bob was last known to be wearing a burgundy sweatshirt, blue jeans and a baseball cap. He is a white male, age 55, with gray hair. He has blue eyes and is 5’8” tall. Bob also has a tattoo of a diver’s helmet on his left calf.
On a very recent Monday evening, around 11:00 PM, a man who bears a resemblance to Bob attended an outreach service in Pritchard Park, Asheville. A local church, Blue Ridge Bible Church, provides a community service known as Midnight Ministries. Pictures taken at a recent event captured a man that some believe could be Bob.
Pictures of Robert Leo Biggs, and this unidentified man seen in Pritchard Park, are included in this message. Out of respect for the unknown man, his face has been blurred. However, if you recognize him by the clothing he is wearing in this photo, investigators with the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office would like for you to call to help them identify him.
