- Details of Disappearance:
- On May 12, 1994, Zahl disappeared from Holmdel, New Jersey. He was never seen or heard from again.
The next day, his car was found abandoned at a Red Bank train station. His belongings – glasses, wallet, and credit cards – were in the car, but the car itself had been wiped clean of fingerprints. This suggests someone tried to remove evidence.
Police think Zahl’s disappearance might be linked to a fight with his brother over their family’s tree farm. The brother wanted to buy out Zahl’s share and had even reported him to the police for growing marijuana. While the brother is a person of interest, he was never charged with anything.
Police suspect someone harmed Zahl, but they haven’t solved the case.
