HomeDenver and the WestStory Colorado Springs boy disappears from youth treatment home Kirk Mitchell, Cold Cases POSTED: 08/16/2014 05:21:06 PM MDTADD A COMMENT| UPDATED: 14 DAYS AGO Robert Pillsen-Rahier Family photo Robert Bobby Pillsen-Rahier had something urgent he wanted to tell his mother. But the 15-year-old boy was staying at the Cheyenne Mesa Adolescent Treatment Facility in Colorado Springs youth treatment facility and didnt dare speak over the phone to his mother, Jean Langness. They monitor the phones, Bobby said, and began to cry. Mom, Ive got to talk to you. He told her he was thinking about running away from the facility. Langness made him promise that he wouldnt run away. She would go to Cheyenne as soon as possible. When she got off the phone with her son she immediately called the facility front office and said she was coming over right then to speak with her son. Langness said a staff member told her that Bobby was about to go on an off-campus day outing and that she would not be allowed to speak with him until he returned back. The phone call with her son that July 6, 1990 was the last time Langness ever spoken to her son. She believes Bobby is dead. She just doesnt know how it happened. She said she believes that Colorado Springs police have never investigated the case as a possible homicide. Colorado Springs police did not return a phone message seeking comment. Bobby was a trauma kid, Langness said. When he was 7, he found the body of his step-father minutes after he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. Gerald Rahier was the only father Bobby had known and he blamed himself for the mans death. But Langness said her husband had a lot of issues after becoming permanently injured in Vietnam. Gerald Rahier was a Vietnam veteran who received a Purple Heart for severe injuries.
