Robert Hoagland & Richard King

THE EAGLE: A Times Union Podcast

In early December, a 59-year-old man was found dead in the room he rented at a house in Rock Hill, New York. The police and emergency responders who arrived on the scene after a 911 call from his housemate found no evidence of foul play. But there was something unsual about this case. The dead man had no identification, save a few pieces of mail among his posessions addressed to Robert Hoagland - a man who had gone missing under mysterious circumstances 9 years ago, nearly 100 miles away in Connecticut.

On this episode of "The Eagle," the Times Union's Phillip Pantuso talks about what we know so far of this bizarre story, which has baffled everyone from police to the man's family, and to the housemate who called him a best friend for the better part of the last decade.
