Lebanon County investigators believe a man who went missing nearly two weeks ago staged his disappearance to avoid a sexual assault allegation.
Cleona Borough police began searching for Lebanon resident Robert Uhler Sept. 11 after his car was found in the Quittapahilla Creek in North Annville Township.
A warrant for Uhler’s arrest was issued Monday in Lebanon County Court after he failed to appear for a sexual assault allegation.
Uhler’s family has not heard from him since the morning of Sept. 11, when he sent text messages that made them concerned for his well-being, police said. Police said the family also reported a firearm missing from their home.
Uhler’s maroon 1999 Oldsmobile was found in the creek near Syner Road and School Creek Lane, with the windows rolled down and the doors closed, police said.
The discovery led Cleona Borough police to search the area with the help of North Londonderry and Pennsylvania State Police.
About 20 volunteers from the Lebanon County Search and Rescue Team were also on scene the day after Uhler’s disappearance, police said.
Anyone with information on Uhler’s whereabouts is asked to contact Cleona Borough police or the Lebanon County District Attorney’s Office.

Thoughts? As far as I can tell Uhler is still at large as of this posting date (October 3rd, 2020), since this seems a pretty well updated case with no mention of a capture that I can find and in addition to that the latest news was that Uhler was actually convicted in absentia.
We've seen in the Jacob Blair Scott case that often these fugitives fake their death, so I'd consider Uhler an at-large fugitive until he's caught or his body is ever found.
