Carl Schober, 39, was found dead in a Fayette County, Ohio, cornfield near Fitchthorne Road on August 22, 1991. The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head and the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office classified the case as a homicide. He had last been seen by friends on August 16, 1991, in Nashville, Tennessee, and said he was traveling alone to Kent, Ohio. Before his death Schober had been living at a communal center on Short Mountain in Liberty, Tennessee; his transient lifestyle made tracing his movements difficult for investigators.

The case remains unsolved. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Ohio Attorney General’s cold case database have publicized the file in hopes of generating tips. If anyone knew Schober, saw him between August 16 and August 22, 1991, or has information about his travel to or presence in Fayette County, contact the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office or the state investigators.?
