Disappeared From A Mental Health Facility

Robert Pilsen-Rahier, a beautiful boy was born November 1974, to Jean Langness. Jean wedded a wheelchair-bound Vietnam vet soon after Robert was born, named Gerald Rahier. Gerald and Jean had another child together, also named Gerald (better known as Gerry) Robert became very close with his stepdad, and saw him more as a dad.

Gerald committed suicide via gunshot, and Robert, 7 at the moment, arrived home from school to discover him dead. Robert was truly traumatized by this. He became prone to aggressive and emotional explosions, although he remained close to his mother. He said her at some point that he accused himself of Geralds suicide.

After the truth, his family shifted to Colorado Springs from Arizona in dreams they’d have a new start. But Robert didn’t adjust to his new school. He was painfully bullied and couldn’t make friends. He was finally put into special education classes, which only made the bullying worse. He was supposedly self-harming and suicidal at the duration.

At 15, his attitude and mental disease were getting terrible and worse. After he harmed one of his bullies and the police got involved, Jean put him in a mental health facility in dreams it would straighten him out: Cheyenne Mesa Adolescent Treatment Center, in Colorado Springs. He had been living there for a few weeks when he disappeared.

On July 6, 1990, Robbie call his mom at 8:45 am from the medication center and said her he had to inform her something, but couldn’t tell it because the facility listened in on all the calls. He said her his bizarre problem had gotten so bad he wanted to run away from the building. She said him to wait and she would come to pick him up.

Jean called the medication center, who said her Robbie went out on a day outing with some staff members and she couldn’t attend him. Later that day, the treatment center phoned her and declared he’d run away.

The center filed the missing person statement, in which they declared he went missing at 8:45 am when he made the ring. They brought all Robbie’s stuff back to Jean, and among them was a blue plaid shirt and jeans. The missing person document explained this was the last thing he was seen wearing. Both pairs of his shoes he took with him were given back to her.

A worker said that they last saw him at 8:45 because he was lying in an area on the facility’s grounds. Another told them they saw him leaving the building alone at 8:45 but didn’t stop him. Even though this was a runaway inquiry, one of the employees explained to an investigator “Maybe he is dead...”

Jean didn’t think he’d at all ran away as they declared, without taking even his shoes.

A week before July 6, Robbie had come residence for a visit Jean cleaned his clothes and noticed blood in his underwear. Jean thinks he was raped at the medication facility, and that had something to do with him going missing.

Jean made repeated rings to Cheyenne Mesa and pressed them for more information but they said her off for harassing them and told they’d get the police involved.

We have not much data about Cheyenne Mesa, but apparently, they closed in 1997 because of financial problems, supposedly no one liked to send their children here after what happened to Robbie. It was bought out by somebody and turned into another mental health facility that went well.

Jean now resides in Kansas, and Robby would be 46 if he was still here. Jean thinks the staff at Cheyenne Mesa understand what happened and need to admit. She runs a Facebook group dedicated to him and tells she is never giving up. She tells she does think he is dead by now and wants whoever did it brought to justice.

I hope she will get the justice soon.
