Robert Joyal, an 18-year-old from Texas, was known for his charm and athletic prowess, especially in football. His life was a blend of struggles and successes, from being a star athlete to facing challenges in fitting into new social circles.

Shownotes Transcript

1998 - Portland, Maine.

Moving to Maine in 1997 was supposed to be 18-year-old Robert Joyal's fresh start. But instead of becoming the football star he was in Texas, he found himself on the outside looking in, unable to carve a path in Gorham High School's social circles.

When his rebellious behavior came to a head at home, it was agreed that he would move out while finishing his senior year. Another fresh start, and one where the family felt a sense of bittersweet hope.

But that hope was short lived. That same night, before he even got a chance to unpack his car and sleep at his new apartment, Robert Joyal was stabbed to death in a Denny's parking lot in Portland, Maine. And to this day, despite the public thinking otherwise, his case remains unsolved.

Hear Rob's story told through his brother, Marc in this two part special on the life and death of Robert Joyal and a family's 20-year search for answers.

If you know anything about the murder of Robert Joyal, I urge you to call the Portland Police Department's tip line at 207-874-8584.
