- Details of Disappearance:
- David Bockmann went on vacation to Boulder, Colorado. He was last seen biking up Flagstaff Mountain after buying flowers. His car was found abandoned the next day, with his wallet and ID inside, but no clues about what happened.
Bockmann had been struggling. He was depressed after the Iraq War started, and upset about his divorce and not being able to support his young daughter. He’d recently moved to Colorado to be closer to family. Three days before disappearing, he acted strangely at dinner with his brother.
His family believes he may have taken his own life by jumping off a cliff, and intentionally hid his body. The mountains are very difficult to search, and despite a big effort, he was never found. Bockmann was a talented musician who played guitar and wrote songs. His disappearance remains a mystery.
