WHITE PLAINS, Md. — Detectives with the Charles County Sheriff’s Office are actively investigating the disappearance of 61-year-old Robert “Bubba” Norris, last seen on March 1, 2025, leaving his home in White Plains. The ongoing case has raised concerns as Norris has not been located, and his white Ford F-150 pickup truck was found abandoned on March 7 in Temple Hills, prompting a collaborative effort with the Prince George’s County Police Department.
Norris was heading to a friend’s house in Clinton, Prince George’s County, when he stopped at two other homes in the county but never reached his destination. He was reported missing to the sheriff’s office on March 4 after friends and family noticed his absence. Described as 6 feet tall, weighing 180 pounds, with short gray hair and a shark tattoo on his right arm near his wrist, Norris was last seen wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, a black puffy jacket, and black shoes. His truck’s discovery on Colebrook Drive in Temple Hills marked a key development, though no recent activity has been detected on his cell phone or credit cards, suggesting he may not have access to them.
The investigation has involved close coordination with Prince George’s County authorities, who assisted in tracing Norris’s movements. Detectives have maintained regular contact with his wife, providing updates as the search continues. The lack of financial or communication activity has heightened concerns, though no specific evidence of foul play has been disclosed. The Charles County Sheriff’s Office, known for its commitment to community safety, is leveraging all available resources, including its Cold Case Unit’s expertise, to resolve the matter.
Authorities are urging the public to assist by contacting Detective J. Smith, ID #555, at 301-609-6479 with any information.

The case remains open, with detectives working diligently to piece together Norris’s last movements. His family and the community await resolution, as the investigation continues to unfold.
