Reward for information on David Schultz now at $27,800

SAC COUNTY, Iowa (KTIV) - The reward has officially been increased in the case of a missing Iowa man who hasn’t been seen since November 2023.

Sac County Crime Stoppers says the reward for information leading to the location of David Schultz has been raised to from $2,000 to $27,800. The reward is also being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction related to this case.

A couple of weeks ago, the Sac County Board of Supervisors agreed to transfer $25,000 from American Rescue Plan funds to the reward. There is a condition to that boost though, as it is from money that has to be spent by November 2024, and if it’s not claimed by then, it will go away. That’s because of conditions imposed by the American Rescue Plan.

“At the request of the County Attorney and County Sheriff, it was moved by Wissler and seconded by Drake to approve an application for American Rescue plan funds in the amount of $25,000 as reward for information leading to the location of David Schultz, the missing truck driver. Ayes all, motion carried. This reward money will be available through November 2024, due to ARP regulations.”

Information regarding the David Schultz investigation can be submitted by calling the Sac County Communications Center at (712) 662-7127 or by emailing tips@saccountyiowa.gov. Anyone interested in contributing to the reward fund for David Schultz can go to Iowa State Banks in Sac City, Lake View and Odebolt. A Venmo account has also been created for Sac County Crime Stoppers which will contribute to the reward. The account is @SacCoCrimeStoppers.

David Schultz has been missing since Nov. 21, 2023, when he disappeared from his semi while hauling a load of pigs from Eagle Grove to Sac County. David’s wife, Sarah, reported him missing after learning he never made it to the drop-off location.
