David Hursell Missing Person Case

David Robert Hursell, 24, was last seen on January 12, 1987, in El Dorado County, California. Hursell disappeared under suspicious circumstances, and over the years, Robert Charles Comer emerged as the prime suspect in his case. Comer, a convicted murderer, confessed to killing Hursell while on death row in 1999. He claimed to have abducted Hursell at gunpoint, bound him, and shot him near Georgetown, California, before disposing of his body.

At the time of Comer's arrest shortly after Hursell's disappearance, he was found driving Hursell’s truck. Despite this, Hursell's body was never recovered, even after an extensive search in 2001 in the area Comer indicated. Comer later apologized to Hursell’s family and was executed in 2007 for unrelated crimes in Arizona. Despite Comer's confession, Hursell's case remains officially unsolved, and his family continues to seek closure, hoping to locate his remains to provide a proper burial.
