Eighteen-year-old David Stack left Broomfield, Colorado, to hitchhike to California and was last seen by his family on June 1, 1976. He never reached his destination. On June 10, 1976, the body of an unidentified young man was found in a landfill in rural Tooele County, Utah. The victim had been shot twice in the head, was barefoot, and wore a tan shirt and patched jeans. Distinctive features included shoulder-length dark brown hair, a mustache and beard, a white scar on the forehead, and vaccination scars on the left shoulder and wrist. The man was buried as John Doe after authorities could not identify him.

The case stayed cold for decades until the Doe was exhumed after a 2014 reopening. A dental comparison in May 2015 led to DNA testing with Stack’s relatives, and in August 2015 the remains were confirmed to be David Stack. The homicide remains unsolved; no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced.

Did anyone in the Wendover or Tooele County area remember seeing David or a hitchhiker fitting his description in June 1976?
