Eugène Robuchon | |

 | |
| Born | Eugène Robuchon September 23, 1872 |
Robuchon was an explorer, anthropologist, as well as a member of Société de Géographie of Paris.[1]
In the Putumayo
[edit]In 1903, Robuchon was commissioned by the Peruvian Government and the Arana Bros. rubber firm to explore, sketch maps, take photographs on the Arana's property between the Napo, Putumayo and Caqueta Rivers.[2][3][4][5]
The contract between Arana and Robuchon stipulated that on the Putumayo River, Robuchon would explore the Igaraparana, Caraparana, Pama, Cahuinari, Satilla, and Mapia tributaries, as well as property between the Putumayo and Napo River on the Tamboryacu tributary.[6]
Robuchon stated that there were thirty three different tribes that made up the Huitoto demographic.[7][8]
Robuchon disappeared near the confluence of the Cahuinari and Caqueta Rivers near the end of 1905 or at the beginning of 1906.[3][9]
Frederick Bishop,
Statement of Armando King states that deponent, along with Bishop and a man referred to as Norman accompanied Robuchon. Written statement spells this name as Norman, and later refers to Armando Normand, implying that these are two different people. Article on John Brown states that Armando Normand accompanied Robuchon and was likely involved in his disappearance.
Disappearence
[edit]Robuchon disappeared somewhere along the Caqueta River,[10] in an area where the Boras natives lived.[11]
"The boys left Robuchon on February 3, 1906. He was never again seen by any one in touch with civilisation."[12]
A relief party was sent thirty seven days later, composed of three Barbadians and seventeen other men.[13][a]
Whiffen travelled with the Barbadians that had originally accompanied Robuchon. John Brown identified the remains of Robuchon's camp.[15]
Whiffen stated that "There were persistent rumours that Robuchon was held a prisoner by the Indians north of the Japura."[15]
