Dean Bechtold was 21 when he was last seen in Ainsworth, Nebraska, on January 25, 1995. Witness accounts say he accepted a ride from two men in a blue and white 1979 Ford pickup truck to travel west, reportedly bound for a wedding in Colorado. It is unknown whether he ever arrived at that destination.

At the time of his disappearance he wore a blue Dallas Cowboys jersey, Levi 501 jeans, and sneakers. Investigators noted a history of drug abuse and some involvement with weapons, and his case is classified as endangered missing. There have been few substantial leads and the case remains open.

If anyone remembers Dean, the pickup, or the two men who gave him a ride that day, please share what you know with authorities.
