Stan Galbreath, a packing plant salesman and occasional delivery driver, was filling in as a truck driver for Prairieland Processors, the meat company where he worked when he disappeared November 5, 1980, somewhere between Valley Center, Wichita, and Hutchinson.
He was last seen when he dropped off boxes of beef at the Valley Center High School cafeteria about 10 a.m. the morning he disappeared. Stan never made his Huchtinson stop.
The next day, his 18-foot refrigerated meat truck was found abandoned east of downtown Wichita. The inside of the truck was splattered with Stan's blood. His sunglasses and baseball cap were found in the cab. The 15,000 pounds of boneless beef, valued at $20,250, had been stolen.
Witnesses saw the truck sideswiping parked cars and ditching the truck. The descriptions of the man seen did not match Stan.
Stan is presumed deceased and was declared legally dead in 1985. His remains have never been found. Police are investigating the case as a homicide.
