Rachel Anne Reuter, 30, a mother of two from Cassville, Wisconsin, was last seen on June 12, 2021, leaving a Super 8 Hotel in Urbandale, Iowa. She had been struggling with substance abuse and had recently been asked to leave a treatment center. Her father reported her missing to the Urbandale Police Department on June 16, 2021.

Surveillance shows Reuter left the hotel with 46-year-old James Klever. Cell phone data places them later at a residence in Bondurant, Iowa, where they spent time in the garage. The last activity from Reuter’s phone was a 3:30 a.m. call to a rideshare service that did not result in a ride. The homeowner heard a disturbance in the garage and was told by Klever that Reuter was out of control. Evidence found in the Bondurant garage led investigators to treat the case as a homicide; authorities believe Reuter was killed there on June 13, 2021, and placed in Klever’s vehicle trunk.

Klever was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in November 2021. During the case he testified that he struck Reuter during a fight; a witness said Klever admitted killing Reuter and disposing of her body. Despite a conviction, Reuter’s remains have not been found; Klever claimed he disposed of her body in the Grand River in Decatur County, Iowa.

If anyone knew Rachel’s movements in June 2021 or has information about the Bondurant garage or the Grand River area, please share what is known.
