David Robert Hursell, 24, was last seen on January 12, 1987, in El Dorado County, California. He disappeared under suspicious circumstances and his truck was later found in the possession of Robert Charles Comer, who was arrested shortly after the disappearance.

Comer, a convicted murderer, later confessed on death row in 1999 to abducting Hursell at gunpoint, binding him, shooting him near Georgetown, California, and disposing of the body. An extensive search in 2001 of the area Comer indicated did not recover Hursell’s remains. Comer apologized to the family and was executed in 2007 for unrelated crimes in Arizona.

Despite the confession, the case remains officially unsolved and Hursell’s family continues to seek closure and hopes to locate his remains for a proper burial. Does anyone have information about Hursell’s last known movements or the Georgetown area in 1987?
