Sad end but at least they have some closure. I'd guess they never do find out what happened or why.

Take a stab at it. I won't penalize you for being wrong.

I like the pun (stab). Are you hinting you think that is what happened? ;)

I suppose you could look at it that way. LOL

But I was more so looking for the motivation for the killing.

I saw the pun as well.

If they have the body now there often are plenty of clues as to what happened. The authorities might choose not to say much, and they might struggle to prove something, but they would have a really good guess.

Considering how massive the search was it's odd that the body wasn't discovered much sooner.   Lots of unanswered questions yet.

West of Mpls MN about 50 miles on Hwy 12
https://www.thegazette.com/news/body-of-missing-iowa-trucker-david-s...

"The decomposition does not line up with 186 days, from what I understand," Rowley said. (Schultz was missing 155 days.)

"There's a very good chance that the body wasn't there even when they searched," Rowley speculated. "And that the body was placed there after."

I wouldn't put too much stock in the head of the cajun navy's expertise on body decomposition. I've certainly seen frozen animals sit all winter and then not decompose the same in the spring as they would decompose fresh, that shouldn't be surprising to most here, but maybe he's not from a cold climate.

The official search misses people all the time, even drones and dogs could miss it. We don't know how much they used drones, or dogs, or knew what they were doing when they did search.

One of the guys from the United Cajun Navy who searched said this morning on the news that they hadn't covered that area because when they arrived, they were told the area had already been searched....they needed to concentrate on more distant areas.

edited to add the name of the search group that I couldn't remember when I first posted

It does seem a bit strange how the body want found earlier with this day and age of drones that can identify what bug or disease is in your crops how a body could be missed.
Also if an area was missed in a search that just doesn’t seem legit with gps and all

North central TX
I'm a "bonafide" drone pilot for out local vfd. I've personally done a number of missing person searches and I can tell you that they can be deceivingly difficult. Between flight times, poorly defined search areas, interference from involved people/organizations, and environmental conditions that add difficulty; its rarely as easy as flying a quick grid and spotting a person on open ground.

I've been involved in looking for fugitives both in rural country and in town, looking for lost children, and looking for lost elderly or mentally disabled pts that wandered away from home in all types of weather. We live in an area called the "Cross Timbers" and it is exactly as it sounds. There is a band of oak trees across North TX that separates zones and they literally form breaks or "cross cut" large chunks of prairie. This type of environment makes it very difficult to use a drone to search for people.

Normally the police are involved in these missing persons cases before fd and already have a "command" setup. Although they're universally poor at it, sorry officers. And will have a poorly identified "search area" that they then want to skip around in and look at high cover areas or likely areas of refuge with no real methodology. Then there's some do-gooder watching the monitor over your shoulder who thinks they see something, or asking "what's that" in the middle of the screen. Or you have volunteers out by themselves wandering aimlessly through the search area with no communication equipment and no way to verify they aren't the victim taking resources away from the actual search. Then there's weather. And wild animals bedded down that return heat signatures on a thermal camera at night, or tree or brush or terrain cover. If someone is thrown down in a little wash in a waterway, it'd be really hard to see them if they were in neutral colored clothes and the drone didn't pass just the right way over the site.

In Sac County, from my recollection of time spent there as a kid, there's not a lot of forest. Lol. That means probably scanning farmsteads and waterways with the drone quickly, then walking those areas, and grid flying the open fields. That would seem to be where a drone search would shine.

Our treed areas are thick here. Can hardly walk through it. Once they are fully leafed out in the summer months you can very easily hide in them.

Can’t believe there would be much of body left if it was out there all that time. Between coyotes and other wild animals there couldn’t be much more then a skeleton left. And who knows how far those animals would drag a body.

Chebanse, IL.....

They must not have the turkey buzzards, or whatever they really are, that we have here. Watch for them circling and soon they'll be descending on a dead/dying thing of any type.

Actually we should've sent some of our birds from this area to Iowa to help search

Thoughts to the family, friends, and people in the area.

Does anyone know if the truck was running when they found it with no driver?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought I had heard/read it was parked right in the lane of traffic.

Hard for me to understand how it sat so long in the roadway.

Well that’s not good news but not entirely bad I guess. At least the family will have closure. As bad as it is not knowing would almost certainly be worse.

Preliminary autopsy results show that through dental records the body found was David Schultz.No Blunt trauma or injury was noted.The sherrifs office had an update today.So that clears up a few things but many unanswered questions.

Supposedly he had recently purchased 2 pairs of identical boots.
He was wearing one pair that night.
His wife gave the other pair to the police.
