The Iowa Lake View Police Department is searching for a missing man, David Schultz, who was last seen on Tuesday, November 21, 2023. As per the police authorities, Schultz is a white male who weighs around 180 pounds and is about 6 feet tall. The police have also given a description of his looks for people to find me, stating that the man has brown hair and brown eyes.
The Iowa Lake Police Department claimed that the 53-year-old man, David Schultz, was a trucker. He was expected to unload his truck in Sac City with hogs, but he did not make it to his destination, as before reaching it, he had gone missing. However, the authorities were able to get to his truck, but David was nowhere to be seen around the truck.
The police also stated that the truck was found at 71 North of Old 20. On the other hand, the wife of the missing trucker also claimed that she had last seen her husband on Monday evening, around 7:30 p.m., before he left the house to go to work. The wife also claimed that her husband was wearing Wrangler jeans and cowboy boots.
Sarah, David Schultz’s wife said:
“The next day I hadn’t heard from him, which is not unusual, you know I don’t know when he’s loading and unloading. The guy he hauls for knocked at my door saying hey we can’t find David have you heard from him. He said he didn’t unload the hogs. And that alerts me right there cause he would never pull over to sleep load, he just wouldn’t.”
Police found David's phone and wallet in his truck
