- Details of Disappearance:
- David Brosius vanished from Valley View, Pennsylvania on January 21, 1977. He was last seen leaving a motel with two men from Florida, Kenneth Lenker and Richard Green, driving away. He’s never been seen or heard from since.
Before he disappeared, his parents received threatening phone calls demanding $500 because someone claimed Brosius was involved in a big drug deal. The caller threatened to hurt Brosius if they didn’t pay. His mother paid the money but nobody was there to collect it. She believes he may have been kidnapped after trying to resolve the situation.
Brosius knew Lenker and Green, but wasn’t close to them. His mother said he wasn’t involved in drugs at the time, though he had been in the past. Police found Lenker and Green in Florida shortly after Brosius disappeared, but they weren’t arrested.
The case remains a mystery, and police think something bad happened to Brosius.
