On Friday afternoon, search personnel discovered the body of a man who had been reported missing from Rockwell City, according to the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office.

At what was described as a “wooded abandoned property” in Calhoun County, the body of Mark Riesberg, who was 54 years old, was discovered inside of his Chrysler PT Cruiser. It was members of the United Cajun Navy, a search-and-rescue organization that operates on a charitable basis, who were the ones who discovered his body.

The first findings of the investigation conducted by the sheriff’s office show that Riesberg died from “a single gunshot wound.” No foul play is suspected at this time.

The body of Riesberg has been delivered to the state medical examiner for examination. The phone and wallet belonging to Riesberg were left behind after he vanished from his residence along Highway 20 on Saturday, October 28.

According to Riesberg’s sister, Mary Brown, who spoke to Local 5, “They went to his place of residence on Wednesday when he did not come into his place of employment and saw that he was not there.” “And then they called law enforcement for a welfare check, and they weren’t able to find him.”

There was a coincidence between the disappearance of Riesberg and the disappearance of another man from Iowa, David Schultz, who was from Wall Lake. Since that time, the local law enforcement, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, and the United Cajun Navy have been conducting massive searches in an effort to locate the two individuals.

“I want him to return home. In an interview with Local 5, Sarah Schultz, Schultz’s wife, stated that her children are in need of their father. “I just want my David… yes, he is mine. He is a good man. I just want him.” He was taken by someone, and I am certain that someone took him.

The hunt for Schultz is still ongoing by the search crews. According to the authorities, there is no connection between the two instances.
