- Details of Disappearance:
- In May 2000, Otto, a Minnesota resident with a drug history, flew to Las Vegas with $10,000 and a blue bag. Police think he went to make a big Ecstasy deal. He told his dad he was in Minneapolis visiting a sick friend, but that was a lie – he was actually in Vegas. Otto planned to move to Chicago for modeling but needed money, hoping the drug deal would pay for it.
He met someone in Vegas, but that person won’t talk to the police (they had their own legal troubles). Otto’s return flight wasn’t used, and he vanished. His family says he wouldn’t leave his son. Investigators believe the drug deal went wrong, and Otto was likely murdered. The case is still unsolved, with police in both Minnesota and Nevada looking for answers.
