Bruce Douglas was an 18-year-old Wichita State University freshman reported missing in November 1973. For about two months his whereabouts were unknown, prompting searches on campus and around Wichita without success.

On January 24, 1974, Douglas’s car was found in a farm field near 53rd North and Rock Road in northeast Sedgwick County. The vehicle was unlocked with the ignition key in the on position. His fully clothed, unbound body was discovered in the trunk; the trunk key was found with him.

The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation, but the case later went cold. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Does anyone with memories from Wichita in 1973–74 or knowledge of this case have information that might help?
