On December 10, 1993 deputies were contacted to check on the welfare of a 43-year-old man named Kim M. Klimek at his residence in the Village of Wales. Klimek’s house appeared fine although there was no sign of him or his truck. There was evidence that he was packing for a planned trip to Las Vegas and the tickets were found at the residence; however, he never made the trip. His mailbox indicated there was mail from as far back as November 8, 1993. During the investigation, it was found that his truck was parked at Mitchell Airport, but there was no record of him taking any flights.

No one has heard from Kim Klimek since 1993. There were significant events that occurred within Kim’s family, which they believe, would have resulted in him contacting family members, but that did not happen.
