Circumstances of Disappearance​

Ken Schock lived in Olathe, Kansas, and was on a business trip in January 1982 when he took a side trip to Las Vegas. The last contact was towards the end of January 1982. In mid-February a friend of Ken's started getting anxious after not hearing from him and contacted his family in North Dakota. They reluctantly filed a missing person's report with Ward County ND sheriff's department.
Before that was filed, the friend was contacted by the Washoe County NV Sheriff's Department regarding Ken's ID and credit cards being found in a hotel room of Tracy Petrocelli, who was a wanted suspect in some murders. I was interviewed by Mike Barbarigos (deceased) of Washoe County. There were numerous ID's and credit cards of other missing persons in this hotel room. It was later determined that Ken was a victim himself. It was believed that he happened to sit next to Petrocelli at a casino table.
Beyond that, not much is known, as they weren't interested as much in Ken as in finding Petrocelli. Through the years, more interest was expressed in Ken but the main target was Petrocelli and solving multiple crimes and murders. He is now on death row in Nevada.
