- August 17, 1952
- Notes
- The victim's date of birth was believed to be sometime between 1905 - 1906. Stutzman, a local farmer, vanished without a trace on August 17, 1952 from LaGrange, IN. The day started like any other; work first, and a promise of playtime later. His children did their chores and then went back to the house. Stutzman told them he'd be home in 20 minutes after he chased the cows to the field. He never showed up. The last sighting of Stutzman was by his children that afternoon on the farm. He had promised the kids time to play if they completed their chores, which they did. They headed back to the home, but Stutzman said he needed to go get the cows in the field and would be there about 20 minutes later. There was no sign that he intended to leave voluntarily and there is some suspicion that he was attacked as a result of a poker game he participated in the night before.
