Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP89884) and 8 other sources
Carl Robert Shull, a 50-year-old man from Wyoming, vanished on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2013, from Aurora, Colorado. Shull had relocated to Colorado in January 2012 with the intention of investing in the state's newly emerging marijuana industry. At the time of his disappearance, he was residing with a business partner. Reports indicate that on the day he was last seen, Shull had a heated argument with his roommate before leaving their shared residence. He has not been seen or heard from since that day. Along with Shull, his Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck with Wyoming license plates and his Blue Heeler dog named Bez also disappeared. Authorities have expressed that foul play is suspected in his case.

The circumstances following Carl Shull's disappearance grew increasingly suspicious as his debit card was used by an unknown individual. On the same day he went missing, his card was used at a gas station in Aurora, but surveillance footage confirmed that the user was not Shull. The unauthorized use of his card continued the following day at gas stations in Elise, Nebraska, and Fort Morgan, Colorado. His sister reported that the card was also used to pay for a $70 dinner at a steakhouse in Aurora. On December 3, an unidentified man used the card to buy cigarettes at a gas station and signed Shull's name. The same man used the card again on December 8 at another Aurora gas station, which depleted the remaining funds in Shull's account.

The investigation into Carl Shull's disappearance has been a multi-agency effort, involving both the Casper, Wyoming, and Aurora, Colorado police departments. Initially reported missing in Casper, the investigation revealed that his last known location was in Aurora. The case is believed to have connections stretching from Wyoming and Aurora to northeastern Colorado, with Shull also having ties to Nebraska and Kansas. He is described as a white male, 5'10' and 170 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. He has distinctive tattoos: the word 'Carlito' on his chest and a Viking on his left arm. Despite the passage of time, the case of Carl Shull's disappearance remains unsolved, leaving his family and friends without answers. The suspicious activity on his bank card, coupled with the argument before he vanished, points toward a troubling and unresolved situation.
