It has been 15 years since David Cook of Amsterdam went
missing from his residence in Amsterdam. The 55-year -old man disappeared from
his ranch in mid-November of 2008.
Cook, was a 34-year employee of the nearby KCPL generating
plant at LaCygne, Kansas. On the day of his disappearance, it was a day as
normal, Cook had scheduled a contractor’s meeting at the ranch to go over plans
for an upcoming project, but the otherwise reliable Cook didn’t show up.
A 200-person search party, including several on horseback,
hikers, boat , and the Highway Patrol
helicopter assisted in the search, all to no avail.
After 15 years, the
family of David Cook continues to ask
for any information or leads you may have to be reported to the Bates County Sheriff’s
Office or the Missouri Highway Patrol.
Cook has been missing since November 19th 2008.
Fast forward to 2023 – no new leads, no new information, and
at this point, the disappearance of David Cook is considered a cold case.
Any new leads in the case would be welcomed by the Bates
Count Sheriff’s Office.
