David Spies was 47 when he was last seen in Omaha, Nebraska, on July 3, 1997. He phoned his brother that day and said he planned to hitchhike to Salina, Kansas, within a day or two, but there are no records he ever arrived and no further contact with family.

At the time he went missing David was described as a 5 feet 9 inches white male, 185 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. His disappearance was reported as suspicious and the case remains unsolved. The Salina Police Department is listed as the primary agency handling the investigation, and there have been no significant leads reported.

If anyone saw David in Nebraska or Kansas around July 1997, or has information about his intended trip to Salina, please come forward.
