- Details of Disappearance:
- On December 17, 1993, two tow truck drivers, Armstrong and Lombard, disappeared from Merced, California.
Armstrong was last seen at home around 7:45 am. His brother found his house empty an hour later, but his wallet was still there. He missed a lunch date and was never seen again.
Two hours after Armstrong vanished, Lombard disappeared too. His truck was found abandoned.
Although they worked together at RTS Towing, they weren’t friends, and their families don’t think they left together. Police aren’t sure if their disappearances are connected.
Both cases are suspicious and are being investigated as murders. Armstrong thought his coworkers were involved in crime, and Lombard had argued with his boss that day.
Armstrong’s mother is deceased, but his father and siblings are still looking for answers. Neither case has been solved.
