Is FBI’s Most Wanted Robert Fisher in Payson, AZ?

April 23, 2012

It’s more than a decade old mystery. Police say a Scottsdale’s Robert Fisher allegedly set fire to his home killing his wife and children and then he vanished.
Fisher’s wife and two children were found dead in their home in 2001. Robert Fisher is the main suspect in the triple murder. Then wife, Mary, 38, and their children, Brittney, 13, and Bobby, 10, were found murdered. Authorities believe he slit their throats, shot his wife in the head and blew up the home to cover it up.

A trail of evidence was found outside of Payson 10 days after the murders. His wife’s SUV, one of Fisher’s hats and the family dog. But since then, there’s been no real trace of the man on the run. He’s on the FBI’s Top 10 Most Wanted List and the reward is $100,000. Fisher hasn’t been seen since and his disappearance remains one of the largest unsolved obscurities the valley has ever seen. A lot of people want to know where is he is. Is Fisher still alive?
Now, we have learned there are some new developments in the case, and he could be hiding out HERE IN THE STATE. The FBI alerted local law enforcement about the new developments. The information was meant to be confidential but it was somehow disclosed to the public.

For some reason, the FBI thinks Fisher could be in Payson. The FBI is searching the area to make sure he’s not in an old cabin or trailer. The agency has not mentioned what tipped them off to search for Fisher in Payson again. But, they do still receive tips from people who think they know where Fisher might be hiding. Police say the reason why it’s so difficult to find Fisher is because he doesn’t have anything that stands out about him. By now, Fisher would be 51. He would walk with an upright posture and pushed-out chest because of a lower-back surgery he had.

What is the possibility that Fisher is still in the same state he committed a murder? Wouldn’t he at least leave the state after he fled from the scene? If he is in Payson, can the community do something to help track him down?
