Dale Strassburger Missing Person Case

Dale Webster Strassburger, aged 34, disappeared on June 28, 1982, while on his way home from work at the Rock Island Arsenal in Illinois. He lived with his parents in Davenport, Iowa, and was expected to return home that night. However, he never arrived, and his 1976 Oldsmobile was found abandoned just 29 minutes after he left work. The vehicle was discovered on the Le Claire bridge over the Mississippi River, in the eastbound lane—a route that was not on his typical path home.

Despite extensive searches of the river and surrounding areas, no trace of Strassburger was ever found. Three years later, during an unrelated court proceeding, a witness came forward with information about a possible homicide linked to Strassburger's disappearance. The details provided were considered highly credible, containing facts that had never been made public. However, investigators were unable to verify the account, and no charges were filed.

Authorities suspect foul play, believing Strassburger may have been murdered, but with little physical evidence and no body recovered, the case remains unsolved. Strassburger’s disappearance continues to baffle both law enforcement and his loved ones. Investigators are still seeking information that could lead to a resolution in the case.
Last Seen: Jun 28, 1982
