Norbert Stapleton, 54, was reported missing from Burlington, Wisconsin, on September 25, 1987. Family and friends described him as responsible and caring; he was last seen in the Burlington area and his disappearance prompted them to contact local authorities immediately.

Law enforcement conducted searches of surrounding areas and interviewed neighbors and acquaintances in the days after he vanished, but investigators were unable to develop substantial leads. Norbert’s family organized community outreach, local media appeals and events to keep attention on the case and to encourage anyone with information to come forward.

Few concrete leads have been reported, and the reasons for his disappearance remain unresolved. If anyone knew Norbert, saw him around Burlington in late September 1987, or has information that hasn’t been shared with investigators, please get in touch with the agency handling the case.
