In the community of Moses Lake, Washington, the disappearance of 27-year-old Zach John Nestle has left his family and authorities searching for answers. Zach, who had relocated to Moses Lake from Michigan in May 2022, was last seen on October 1, 2023. He had established a life for himself in a new town, living alone in an apartment and working as an online broker for a moving company.
The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are unsettling, particularly as he is considered to be a vulnerable individual. His case is being handled by the Moses Lake Police Department and is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as MP121802.
The alarm was raised when it became clear that no one had been in contact with Zach. His landlord informed police that Zach had not given any notice of moving out. Upon entering his apartment, investigators found that he had left behind personal belongings, including clothes, a bed, and a desk—the very same furniture he had brought with him from Michigan. This detail suggests his departure was not planned. He was known to be driving a black 2013 Audi A6 with Washington license plate number CFK1431. Despite the circulation of his information and description—a white male with red/auburn hair and blue eyes, standing between 6'1' and 6'2' and weighing around 175 pounds—there have been no significant leads in the investigation.
The search for Zach Nestle continues, with law enforcement agencies like the Washington State Patrol involved. His family and friends, along with the Moses Lake community, remain hopeful for any information that could lead to his whereabouts. The lack of clear leads has made the investigation challenging, and authorities are urging the public to come forward with any information they might have, no matter how insignificant it may seem. The case remains an active and open investigation, a painful testament to a young man who seemingly vanished without a trace, leaving behind a life he was building and a community searching for answers.Last Seen: Oct 1, 2023
