Okay So every time I play through New Vegas Lt. Monroe seems to disappear after he gets to Camp Forlorn Hope at first I thought he was being killed but it seems he just disappeared. I came to Forlorn Hope later in the game and say that he was gone so I was like no big deal I'll just load the save I made a little bit ago while I was in Camp Forlorn Hope standing right next to him. So I did and when I did he was still gone. So I came to the conclusion he just likes to disappear.
I know this is an odd topic to start but if your like me and want to keep as many named NPC's alive this will probably tic you off a bit but at least you know he didn't just die.
