September 13, 1987...where and what happened to Dale!?

 

[Sweetluv]

The video is what I find intriguing..is Dale looking into the camera to say, I need help or is it a final look before he and his accomplice pull off a robbery and disappear?

State Police Offering $5,000 Reward in 1987 Cold Case of Missing Man, Stolen Platinum

'Police said an unknown masked suspect entered the plant and confronted Dale Kerstetter, the night watchman. The suspect directed Kerstetter towards a room in the plant in which there was a furnace located.'

"The suspect then forced entry into the furnace, removed fire bricks, and cut out the platinum pipe, which was valued at over $500,000, according to the release.
After the suspect fled the scene, Kerstetter was discovered to be missing and has not been seen since. Police said it is unknown if Kerstetter was a victim or had any involvement in the crime.''

''Kerstetter was 52 at the time of his disappearance. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 4 inches tall, and weighing 130 pounds. He had red, shoulder-length curly hair, and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a dark shirt and pants.''

According to the release, he was a longtime employee of the facility and had recently been demoted to the night watchman position.''

Odd...the above article states Dale had red shoulder length curly hair. Everything else i ever read states Dale had brown and grey hair with a receding hairline. Ugh, that's not good the article gave an incorrect hair description, especially when your looking for someone.

I don't recall hearing before that he had recently been demoted to that position. Is this new information or did I just miss it before?
