The last reliable sighting of David was on November 18 when he left work at the Kansas City Power & Light power plant around 10:30 p.m. The next morning David met with an employee of his at a large cattle ranch he managed in addition to the power plant job. The employee, who police are not considering a completely reliable source, told detectives that he and David checked on a herd of cattle a few miles away from David's home and then David drove off on a four-wheeler. Later that same day David missed a scheduled meeting with several business partners and didn't show up for work at the power plant. David was reported missing the next day, November 20.
When the police arrived at his house there were no signs of disarray, his vehicles were accounted for, and his wallet was sitting out. The only items missing are David's cell phone, money clip, and eyeglasses.
