Recently he has presented his research on the Mountain Meadows massacre at the 2002 Juanita Brooks lecture in St. George, Utah, at the annual conferences of the Utah Historical Society and the Center for Studies of New Religions (CESNUR) and other venues. Rob has examined all of the trial testimony from the two John D. Lee trials, researched other primary accounts, and applied tools developed in the courtroom and in historical inquiry to analyze the testimony to determine the likely most reliable statements about the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Rob is one of the directors of The Miller Eccles Study Group.
