Jack Allen Schultz was 37 when he vanished from his De Soto, Kansas home in the early morning hours of November 28, 1994. A relative reported hearing a car horn about 5:00 a.m. and the front door opening; when checked, Jack was gone. He left personal items behind, including his wallet and his favorite belt, and did not have access to a vehicle at the time.

At the time he disappeared Jack faced a warrant for driving under the influence and had told his father he intended to turn himself in; his father did not believe jail was a major concern for him. He had a history of disappearing for periods, so he was not officially reported missing until January 4, 1995.

Investigators with the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office suspect foul play because it was uncharacteristic for him to be out of contact so long. Rumors circulated that he had been murdered at a nearby farm, and extensive searches of rural areas turned up no sign of him. Hundreds of interviews have been conducted over the years and the case remains open. Did anyone in De Soto or the surrounding rural area have contact with Jack that November morning or know about activity at nearby farms?
