Episode 96 Missing no more: A sad update on the case of David Schultz In this episode we discuss the sad update in the case of missing truck driver David Schultz who vanished in November, 2023. We first covered his case in episode 87 in January, 2024. David's remains were recovered in April from a field about a mile from where his 18 wheeler was found abandoned in Sac County, Iowa. A preliminary autopsy did not find any clear signs of trauma or foul play, although his family is pursuing a second autopsy. Full results from the autopsies may take several weeks to come in. In addition to the update, we are including our full original episode about David's case. Now that David has been found, some of the questions from our original episode are now answered, but many are not, and now there may be even more questions. Anyone with information about David Schultz’s disappearance and subsequent death is asked to call the Sac County Sheriff’s Office at 712-662-7127 or the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation at 712-262-1873. There is a reward of $2,000 being offered in this case.  David's family has been financially impacted by his death, and a Gofundme has been set up to help get them through this difficult time.

Episode 95 Gregory 'Greg' Treace 53 year old Gregory Treace, a father of 2 in Tulsa, Oklahoma was having a challenging 2022. He was battling Lymphoma which left him in a lot of pain, and unable to work. On top of that, he and his wife Billie were separated, although on good terms, and living in the same home in different bedrooms. One day in July, he went out to do some night fishing with his brother and his brother's girlfriend, and he never came home. After he didn't return home a couple days later, his wife Billie became very worried. It wasn't like him to stay away from home, and he missed an important medical treatment. When she reached out to Greg's brother, he told her a story that didn't make sense; that Greg had run off with his brother's girlfriend to a hotel, and that he hadn't seen him since. Billie didn't believe it, but drove to the hotel and found no sign of Greg. Later, Greg's Brother's girlfriend called Billie with a different story; that the 3 of them had broken down in Greg's car on the way to go fishing, and that Greg and his brother began arguing before his brother left on his own. The girlfriend arranged for someone to pick her and Greg up and to drive them home. The friend who dropped them off verified that he dropped the girlfriend off and then Greg off near Greg's mom's property in Sapulga, Oklahoma. The man that dropped Greg off confirmed that they were greeted by Greg's brother who appeared to be very angry and was yelling at Greg. The witness left, and Greg was never seen again. Greg's brother's story changed, and looked very suspicious. Greg's car was located broken down as described, but Greg was not found despite searches by dogs and drones. Some of Greg's clothing and his shoes were found at his mother's home, but his phone, wallet, and keys are missing. To date, Greg remains a missing person, although Billie believes her husband is dead. She wants to know what happened and where her husband's remains are. Her and Greg's children miss Greg. After Greg vanished, his brother who has a history of drug abuse, was charged with abusing his girlfriend and sent to prison where he remains as of the release of this episode. If he knows anything more about his brother's disapperance, he isn't talking.  In this episode, Billie discusses her husband's disappearance, and all of the changes in her brother in law's account of what happened.   Gregory was last seen in Sapulpa, Oklahoma on July 24th, 2022. He is white with graying/bald hair and blue eyes. He is 6’3 and 225lbs. DNA is available for comparison in NaMus, where he is listed as case # MP94228.

Gregory 'Greg' Treace

Episode 94 Brianna Maitland 17 year old Brianna Maitland vanished without a trace on Friday night March 19, 2004 after she left her shift at the Black Lantern Inn in Montgomery, Vermont. Her co-workers watched her drive off in her Green 1985 Oldsmobile at around 11:20PM. They had asked her to hang out and share a meal, but she was tired and had to work her second job early the next morning. In the hours after Brianna laft work, her car was spotted by multiple witnesses backed into the wall of  a barn house about a mile from the Black Lantern Inn. One of the witnesses was a young man who had dated Brianna. He claimed that he found her car abandoned against the barn home with its doors open and headlights on, but there was no sign of Brianna, so he turned off her lights and shut the doors before leaving. Another witness, a police officer, discovered the car and when he saw Brianna's uncashed paychecks inside from the Black Lantern Inn, he headed there to try and figure out what was going on, but by the time he arrived, they were closed. Rather than report the incident, he left for a long weekend get away, setting into motion a set of circumstances that caused a delay in anyone even realizing Brianna was missing. Hours after the police officer had come upon the scene, a group of travelers spotted the odd scene of the car backed into the barn. It was so odd, they stopped to take photos and investigate the scene. A broken necklace and some of Brianna's belongings were found inside and outside of the car. The car was towed, and 2 days would pass before anyone realized Brianna was missing.  Officially, Brianna was never seen again, although there were reported sightings of her in other states thought to be cases of mistaken identity. Brianna's parents, Bruce and Kellie Maitland, were left to wonder what happened to their daughter. Along the way, they had to hear all kinds of rumors about Brianna, and what may have happened to her and who may be responsible. Brianna's case was thought by some to possibly be linked to the disapperance of Maura Murray, another high profile missing persons case in New England. Maura vanished from New Hampshire a month before Brianna, and as in Brianna's case, her car and odd clues were left behind.  The Maitlands found a friend, advocate, and ally in Private Investigator Greg Overacker who has worked doggedly on Brianna's case for years. In this episode, he discusses the case, and tried to sort out fact from fiction. He also discusses the book he wrote on Brianna's case. When Brianna Maitland vanished, she was described as White, with Brown haid and Hazel eyes. She stood about 5ft5 and weight around 116 pounds. If you have any information about Brianna's case, call the FBI tip line at 800-CALLFBI or call the Vermont State Police at 844-84-VTIPS.
