Detectives from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office are again working a past missing person case as they seek answers as to what happened to Curtis Dale Hill.

Detective Kevin Dodds said, “It has been 26 years since he disappeared. Someone out there has information; and we just need them to come forward to help us bring a sense of peace to his family”.

On February 12, 1995, Hill was reported as missing to DCSO. An extensive investigation was conducted into the man’s disappearance; however, he has never been located and the circumstances of his disappearance remain limited.

Sergeant Brad O’Dell said the Sheriff’s Office never closes a missing person case where the person has not been located. He said the cases remain open and are periodically reviewed, with efforts to glean additional information made.

O’Dell said in 2009, the case was re-opened by the Cold Case Squad, a former division of DCSO made up of retired law enforcement officers who volunteered their time reviewing cases. O’Dell said at that time, investigators re-interviewed friends and family but were unable to turn up any viable leads.

Work on the case was conducted again in 2011 and 2012 by the Detectives Division. O’Dell said DCSO is again combing over the investigative files and seeking assistance from the public.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Curtis Dale Hill or the circumstances surrounding his disappearance is asked to call the DCSO Detectives Tip Line at 957-2099.
