Wall Lake, Iowa — The body of a missing northwest Iowa trucker has been found a mile and a half from where his truck was found abandoned in November.
The wife of 53-year-old David Schultz of Wall Lake says she suspects foul play in his death. Sarah Schultz spoke this (Thursday) morning at a news conference broadcast by KTIV-TV.
Schultz says she was notified at yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon that a body had been found. Schultz says law enforcement told her she would not recognize the body and she was shown her husband’s boots to make the identification. David Schultz’s disappearance sparked a massive search. Jake Rowley of Louisiana’s United Cajun Navy was involved in the search and joined the trucker’s wife at today’s (Thursday’s) news conference, explaining where Schultz’s body was found.
Rowley says his group did not search the field where Schultz’s body was found, but is familiar with the area. He says they were told that area had already been searched.
David Schultz’s wallet and cell phone were in his truck when it was found parked on a highway in rural Sac County.
