Where Is Robert Fisher? Page #8
do wilderness searches.
And so only, approximately
a square mile
around Robert
Fisher's wife's truck
was actually searched.
A human body in the
wilderness is quickly
taken apart by animals.
There are plenty of
coyotes up there.
I think that the only
trace of Robert Fisher
that we may ever
see would be the
rusting remains of
his handgun, sadly.
- Since 2001 there's
probably close to at least
10,000 leads that have come in.
(dark eerie music)
- [Charlie] Out of
those 10,000 leads,
how many would you consider
to be strong leads?
- 10 to 20.
(dark eerie music)
- [Charlie] And how many
leads do you get today?
- Four to five a day sometimes,
of people calling in.
(dark eerie music)
This case has generated
a life of its own.
He has a very average look.
He doesn't stand out in a crowd.
He blends in very well.
And that's what's made
this case so challenging.
We put the information out,
and we appreciate
all the calls we get.
People know about this guy.
And we know they do,
'cause they're calling us
every time they see him.
But a lot of these
people that are getting
called in on are very
good look-alikes.
- Fisher is, you know,
his look is average.
In all honesty.
But there is another
aspect of him,
that he has very sharp features
on his nose, his brows.
He has a unique walk.
(dark ambient music)
- He had back surgery
on his lower back,
and he has a bad back,
and it's very sore.
And he walks with a
very erect posture,
chest sticking out,
kinda like how you walk
if you had a sore back.
He's got a gold tooth in his
upper left bicuspid tooth.
Now he may still have that
gold tooth or he may not.
(eerie ambient music)
Tourists were in
Guatemala at a market,
and they were taking
photos of the market
and captured an individual
in the background.
Well, the individual
didn't like the idea that
he was in the background
in some of the pictures
and approached the tourists.
- Take.
"You taking my photograph?
"Give me your camera."
(eerie ambient music)
I think he made some remark
about committing crime.
- [Charlie] Yeah, "I've killed
before and I'll kill again."
- Exactly.
So, to me, it's interesting.
And we went out and
attempted to identify
who that individual was.
There are times when
we are able to find
And other times there's
just not enough information,
and that's what
happened in Guatemala.
So that's kinda still
sittin' out there.
So we're kinda
watching that area.
We have a number
of sightings that
In Grand Isle, Louisiana,
before the hurricane
hit down there,
we were getting sightings
of him down there.
We've had a number
of people call
that didn't know each
other called in on.
When we were out
looking for the person,
but we have not been able
to find who that guy was.
(dark ambient music)
The caller basically
called the tip line
a week after it
was aired and said,
"Hey, this is Robert Fisher.
"I'm glad I killed the
b*tch, you'll never find me,"
and hung up.
Investigation
there was negative.
They tried and they
printed the phone,
interviewed witnesses, and
we weren't able to determine
if that was actually him or not.
- [Charlie] Do you think
Robert made that call?
- I don't.
Why would he give us an edge
and lead us to where
where the phone call came from?
So I can't see him doing that.
(dark eerie music)
- We worked a lot
of stories together.
I had a lot of respect
for him as a detective.
He really became
tied into his cases.
It was very emotional for him.
I know he would take it home.
Just like sometimes we take
it home as journalists.
- What really plagued
him was the fact that
we couldn't find him.
And he thought about
it day and night
where could he have gone?
Often I would get
a call from him at
11 o'clock at
night with an idea,
and my phone would ring,
"Hey, I just thought of this.
"We gotta talk about
this tomorrow."
It couldn't wait 'til tomorrow,
we needed to talk
about it right now,
and then we'd spend the
next two hours on the phone.
- He could not wait 'til
the day we found him.
And he could sit down
and look at him across the table
and interview him
and try and determine
just what happened.
- All he wanted to
do was sit in a room
and look at Robert Fisher.
And ask him one question, why?
- He never said
if, he said when.
And he really thought
Fisher would talk to him.
Because John was
convinced as well,
more that he was so narcissistic
that he would like
to tell his story.
(eerie ambient music)
(camera clicks)
- He had evidence that
led him to believe
Robert Fisher was living
south of the border.
To me, that seems the
most plausible thing.
One of the things that
struck me about Fisher
life and his lifestyle,
he didn't strike me
as a particularly
technologically savvy guy.
He left the birth
certificate behind.
He hated debt, he
always paid cash.
And so if you think about,
what are one of the
places you could go
where you could pay
cash for everything,
pretty much disappear?
or they're not well-enforced.
And I think he's in a
touristy area of Mexico.
That's my personal opinion.
(camera clicks)
- They've had him
down in Mexico,
other Latin American
countries, Brazil,
(camera clicks)
at one point there was a doctor
who used to work with Robert
who thought he saw him in Brazil
and just caught a
glimpse of the guy
as he was sitting in his
car in the car next to him
and that car took off, and
thought he had seen him.
But that's again,
it's a common look.
And we didn't even enough
to go on that lead.
That occurs almost
daily on this case.
(dark eerie music)
- He had been missing, the
case had gone a little cold,
and somebody had
reported him up in Canada
up in a little area
called White Rock.
- It was someone who
looked like Fisher.
Someone saw the wanted poster.
They called it in to the
Canadian authorities.
- And I remember
when they thought
that they had found
Fisher in Canada.
John Kirkham called me,
it was late at night,
and he said, "Tammy, this is it.
"We think we got him,
we think we got him."
the roller-coaster again of
what we would do
if it is Robert,
how we would help him
through the jail situation.
The same thought processes
go through your head
every time there's something
else on the news about it.
- Well, I was living in
Seattle, not too far and I said,
well, I'm not doing
anything, I could go up.
See if it's really him,
I'm kinda curious
how this works out.
So I went up to Canada.
They basically pretended
to book me in the jail,
so that they could get me
and Bob into the same room.
So that I could look
at him face-to-face,
and hear him talk, see him walk
