When Deborah spoke with her niece, she learned about Robert's planned trip to his friend's house to retrieve his card. Then she decided to look into her brother's trip.
"I went over and visited with the friend that he was supposed to go see, and the friend said he had not seen my brother and that he did not have my brother's card," Deborah stated. "He also indicated to me that he already knew my brother was missing."
When police looked into the missing card, they discovered that someone had made charges to it after Robert's disappearance. When they questioned Robert's friend about it, he told them he had given the card to someone else. He agreed to a voluntary polygraph, and according to police, he was not deceptive in his answers. However, Deborah has difficulty reconciling the friend's polygraph results with her visit to him.

"When the detective called me and said that the card was a dead end, I said why do you say that? Why did he give that person my brother's card? When I talked to him on the 14th, he said he didn't have it, and he didn't tell me he gave it to somebody else. He knew damn well my brother was missing."
In the course of their investigation, Fort Worth police also conducted polygraphs on Robert's ex-wife, his daughter and his sister. All three passed, and the investigation slowly ground to a halt. Then, on March 29, a fire broke out at Robert's apartment on the 3000 block of Las Vegas Trail. Fire fighters quickly got the blaze under control, and a team of arson investigators was called in to determine the cause of the fire.
