LAKE VIEW, Iowa (KTIV) - Authorities in Sac County, Iowa are searching for a man that they say hasn’t been seen since Tuesday.

The Sac County Sheriff’s Office says authorities are searching for 53-year-old David Schultz of Wall Lake, Iowa. Police say he hasn’t been seen or heard from since the early morning hours of Tuesday, Nov. 21.

Schultz is described as a white male weighing 180 pounds and is 5′11″. He has brown hair and brown eyes.

According to the sheriff’s office, multiple law enforcement agencies began an investigation into Schultz’s disappearance on Tuesday and continued their search into Wednesday.

As of Wednesday night, the sheriff’s office says they are asking property owners in northeastern Sac County to check their own properties and outbuildings for anything out of the ordinary. If anyone discovers something out of the ordinary, authorities ask they call the Sac County Communications Center at (712) 662-7127.

“We ask that those who are searching their properties to be cognizant not to continue searches on the properties of others,” stated the Sac County Sheriff’s Office in a press release.

Law enforcement officials say they plan to expand the search area and continue this investigation in the coming days.
