William Robert Bob Lang Jr., 76, was found dead at his home on Levee Road in Natchitoches, Louisiana, after his wife — who is visually impaired — reported him missing the evening of December 29, 2021. Deputies who arrived around 6:00 p.m. saw all of his vehicles still at the house and noticed a broken bedroom window. With permission to search, they found Lang in bed with multiple gunshot wounds; the assistant coroner pronounced him dead and his death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators from the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office interviewed friends and family and canvassed the neighborhood for surveillance footage, but no arrests have been announced. The case remains an active investigation as authorities continue to seek leads.

If anyone knew William Lang, saw activity near Levee Road on December 28–29, 2021, or has information that could help, please come forward.
