  • An Iowa man who went missing in November has been found dead, according to his family. KCCI reports the body of David Schultz, 53, was discovered this week in a field not far from where his semi-truck was found abandoned last year. While law enforcement has not confirmed the identity of the remains, Schultz’s family reportedly says he was identified by the boots he was wearing. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

      First, there was no indication of any strangers in the cab of his truck. Second, they found his wallet, complete with credit cards and a fair amount of cash plus his cell phone in his cab in plain sight. It would seem that robbery was not the motive, if there was even a crime. Personally, I think he probably had a medical emergency--maybe a slow brain bleed, that left him disoriented (truck was left on the road and pointed in the wrong direction for the route he should have been taking), he finally parked right where he was, got out and started stumbling around looking for help. If the brain bleed was towards the front of his brain, it may have caused pressure on one or both optic nerves, causing severe visual disturbances so he couldn't drive any further.

    How is it possible not to find his body at the same time as the truck? That's flat land and even if something was grown there, they should have done an aerial search and would have found his body or noticed some of the field flattened. People don't care as much anymore I guess. . Geez, I remember doing a vehicle accident about 20 years ago at about 1am in the morning. I saw a long type of skid mark in the dirt near one of the cars. Not from a car not from anything I have seen before. Since it was a farming area, it could have been done by a tractor. I showed the police officer as I was the only first aid personnel with the fire station and floating between the two cars, the ambulance officers were working on the other car. This is after we were at the scene for 30 minutes, the police officer pulled out his torch and we both followed the skid mark to a tree. It stopped at the base of the tree. The police officer then shone his torch up the tree truck slowly, then about 8 feet up the tree was the body of a young man covered in dust and deceased of course. We both looked at each other and our faces went pale. After that night, we always searched a greater distance for bodies, etc because people who don't wear seat belts or when cars slipt go flying even with a seat belt. We found this happened 3 times in the 20 years of volunteering for the local fire station (which is a volunteered service).

      Law enforcement was out in force. Volunteers from that very rural, low population area were out every weekend for weeks looking for him. A group of volunteers called the Cajun Army based way down in Louisiana has been looking for him at least once a month for the last several months and covered over 100,000 acres--but since they had been told by the sheriff's department that the area where his body was found had been covered, they did not look in that area. Hundreds of people cared so much about finding him that they volunteered tens of thousands of hours to search for him through some truly miserable Iowa winter weather. People cared a great deal.

      @@kevhans1 His body wasn't really all that close to where his truck was abandoned--it was found approximately 1.5 miles away. That means that the search area would have been a 3 mile diameter circle around the truck, which incorporates a circle of close to 9.5 miles in circumference and just over 7 square miles. Sure, 1.5 miles isn't far if you know the beginning point *and* the end point but when you have to spiral out from the beginning point, that's a lot of ground to cover. SARescue is difficult but you have the advantage of the victim usually able to make some effort at being noticed. SARecovery is tough because the victim is no longer able to aid the searchers.

    What I remember when I first heard this story a couple months ago was that he went to kiss his other kids and wife goodbye as he was leaving on this pig haul, and the other young son was in the next room and said "what about me, dad?" And that man replied to the effect of "I don't have time, bud, I've gotta go" and walked out, never to be seen alive again by his family. That angered me. Folks, NEVER leave without properly telling your spouse and children you love them, complete with a kiss for each. It takes mere seconds but is priceless. You simply don't know what will happen next and you can lose your life at any time, like he did so unexpectedly. That poor boy has to live with those last words from his daddy for the rest of his life. Shameful. I'm so sorry about what happened to him but let this be a lesson to all not to be in such a rush all the time and take your loved ones for granted.

    David made the decision to deviate from the route he should have taken to deliver the piglets.
    He was seen scrolling his phone at the truck plaza as well as seemingly looking for something in his truck. At no time did he indicate he needed help.
    He left home in haste but was LATE to pick up pigs.

      More like 5 months. And that's the sort of thing that happens in rural Iowa because even though those crop fields look flat when you speed past in a car, there's actually a lot more relief to the ground than most people realise. An adult can lie flat in a corn or bean field and be invisible from 10 feet away, depending on the angle the observer is viewing from. His body was found approximately 1.5 miles from where his truck was abandoned, so it was close as in the greater scheme of things but it was a fair distance away by foot. Most of my old SAR buddies figured his body would be found this spring when the farmers started planting (which is just getting started) or next fall when the various hunting seasons open.

    Not far from where his semitruck was found, but then they can't find him for 6 months. Americans proclaim they have rights and yet can't find a body that is not far away. Good concern for life indeed.

    Logic is:
    The reason the cops couldn't find his body for 6 months, most likely the killer put his body somewhere else...waited approximately 6 months, and then put his body near his truck, if we were looking at this as logic...
    Realistically, all those law enforcement needs glasses, or a brain... or need a new career.
