ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) — Wednesday, Oct. 14, will mark seven years since Curtis Roberts disappeared.

Curtis Roberts, who is known as Blue, was reported missing on Oct. 14, 2019. He was last seen in a black shirt and blue jeans and is described as thin with black and grey hair.

In 2023, Albany Police discovered two skeletal remains, that prompted Blue’s family to call and see if it may be the answer they’d been looking for.

“I think about it the way he poof... a whole person in a small place like Albany. It hurts because we would like to have that closure,” Robert’s niece, Sharonda Scott said in a previous interview.

Scott said the last time her family saw Roberts was on Oct. 9, 2019 at his home on Montego Court. After days of not seeing him they knew something was wrong.

Roberts didn’t have a car and would walk frequently throughout the community, according to his family, specifically, on Moultrie Road. Sometimes would stop on Easom Drive to visit family. Other times, he would stop at a plaza near Mobile Avenue.

There was a tip from someone who saw Roberts at a liquor store at the plaza before he disappeared.

But his family said in years past, they have searched up and down those streets for him but have been unable to find anything that can lead to answers to his disappearance.

The search for Blue has gone as far as police draining a lake near his last known whereabouts.

“But since then it’s been crickets,” Scott said in a previous interview.

Seven years later, his family is still holding on to hope for closure.

If anyone has any information regarding Curtis “Blue” Roberts whereabouts, call the Albany Police Department at (229) 431-2100.
