Found Deceased MO - David Koenig, 25, msg'd friends "might be in trouble, need help", Branson, 8 Feb 2020 *reward*

[mlhenn]

Did the guy who owns the peach tree inn where David was staying ever speak up about his disappearance? I read somewhere he wouldn’t release the security camera videos of when David was last seen.

Great question.
Thinking back, I don’t recall too much being said about his friend, the owner of the Peach Tree hotel.

In my NON-EXPERT opinion, anyone who resists aiding in a 'missing' investigation qualifies as POI and for being polygraphed.

Eight years of Dateline's Missing in America: 169 still missing

Amateur Mixed Martial Arts fighter David Zachary Koenig has been missing since February 8, 2020. He was last seen at the Peach Tree Inn on Green Mountain Drive in Branson, Missouri. The 25-year-old messaged friends saying that he might be in trouble. But by the time they saw the messages and tried to contact him, there was no response. Master Sergeant Danielle Heil with the Missouri State Highway Patrol told Dateline in 2020 that David’s disappearance is still an active investigation and they are following all tips and leads that they receive. She added that investigators are looking at his disappearance as foul play because of the nature of his Facebook messages on the night he was last seen. Branson Police Chief Jeff Matthews told Dateline that the case is open and active. “Our detectives continue to work with our regional and state partners and are investigating all investigative leads. To date, we have not located David, but we continue to encourage the community to share any information they may have regarding his contacts and or whereabouts.” The family is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to David’s whereabouts. David is described as 6'6", weighing 240 lbs, with brown hair and brown eyes. He has numerous tattoos, including a scorpion on his right upper arm, the word “OMERTA” on his chest and “The Bullpen Mafia” on his abdomen.” Part of the middle finger on his left hand is missing. Anyone with information about David’s whereabouts is asked to call the Branson Police Department at 417-334-3300.

Why are they searching in Hollister if he was last seen at the motel in Branson?

Not far from the Peachtree Inn..

Why are they searching in Hollister if he was last seen at the motel in Branson?

I used to live in the area. Hollister and Branson are pretty close. A lot of people live in Hollister but work and socialize in Branson. I imagine the remains just found are more likely, but I wouldn't be surprised if something that started in a Branson hotel ended near Hollister, so Hollister is not an illogical place to look. It's right on the major highway leading south out of Branson.

I saw the post where his mom said they understand everyone means well that the news shared earlier was an accident and not to message any of the immediate family. They’re asking for peace and prayers
