PHOENIX, Arizona — Laura Blizinski and friends are desperately seeking information about the death of Robert Jon Foster, found deceased on a Phoenix street on March 30, 2025. According to posts shared by Chrissy Kay and Marcie Lynn, all of Foster’s belongings, including his truck, cell phone, wallet, and weapon, were taken. His cell phone was reportedly pinged in Indiana, raising significant questions about the circumstances of his death. Despite these details, Phoenix Police have stated they do not believe foul play is involved, a conclusion that has left Foster’s loved ones, including Laura Blizinski, baffled and frustrated.
The police’s stance seems difficult to reconcile with the reported theft of Foster’s possessions, particularly given the cell phone’s location in Indiana, over 1,500 miles from Phoenix. Marcie Lynn expressed skepticism, noting that the situation appears to point to robbery and possible homicide, yet the official narrative dismisses foul play. The Phoenix Police Department, reportedly juggling over 3,800 active investigations, is also facing a severe staffing shortage—Laura Blizinski highlighted a deficit of 10,000 officers and staff for a city of 1.6 million, the fifth largest in the U.S. and poised to become the fourth. This understaffing may contribute to the lack of thoroughness in Foster’s case, as the department struggles to manage its caseload.
An autopsy is pending, which could provide clarity, but the delay adds to the community’s frustration. Laura suggested reaching out to the Phoenix FBI for assistance, indicating a lack of confidence in the local police’s capacity to handle the case effectively. The FBI’s Phoenix Field Office has a history of assisting in complex cases, as seen in their involvement in a 2023 Grants Pass investigation where they helped search for an attempted murder suspect, Benjamin Foster, who had ties to Phoenix. While that case is unrelated, it shows the FBI’s potential to step in when local resources are stretched thin. For now, the community continues to share Foster’s story, hoping for answers in a case that feels far from resolved.
