David Lee Strahota, 61, of Tomahawk, Wisconsin, was last seen on November 17, 2021, after telling friends he planned to go deer hunting down south for a couple of weeks, possibly in the Fox Valley or elsewhere in southern Wisconsin. He didn’t own a cell phone and left his vehicle at home, a routine for him because he often rode with others. Friends became concerned when he did not return and there was no activity on his bank account or other way to contact him.

Strahota was not reported missing until March 2022, which delayed searches. Law enforcement, including the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office and several local departments, conducted extensive searches — one targeted a property on State Highway 86 west of Tomahawk — but no significant evidence of his whereabouts was found. He is described as 5 feet 4 inches, 200 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes, and had some health conditions that raise concern for his welfare. The investigation remains open; anyone who saw him or gave him a ride around November 17, 2021, is asked to come forward.
