Steven Dick Kirchhoff, 22, was last seen January 24, 1978, in Waterloo, Iowa, after spending the night with his girlfriend. He disappeared sometime between 1:00 and 5:00 p.m.; his car was found abandoned near a factory soon after.

Authorities suspected his disappearance was tied to drug activity and that Kirchhoff may have been carrying a large amount of cash, leading to the possibility of robbery and murder. Richard Forsyth was identified as a person of interest; he was reportedly seen with bruises and carrying a rug out of his apartment the day after Kirchhoff’s disappearance, then left town and was gone by 1979. Searches, including a 2003 search of a farm near Denver, Iowa, produced no remains or conclusive evidence.

The case remains unsolved and both Kirchhoff and Forsyth are listed as missing. Does anyone have memories, tips, or local knowledge from Waterloo in 1978 that could shed light on what happened to Steven Kirchhoff?
