Vietnam Veteran Vanishes From Manchester Township
Reporting
Jay Dow MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. (CBS) ― A Vietnam veteran has vanished without a trace, and now police are calling on the public to help them solve the mystery.

William Schmidbauer, 64, was last seen by his wife on the night of Sept. 23.

"I'd went to bed and Bill came in and kissed me goodnight," she told CBS 2.

Manchester Township police confirmed that the next morning after Jean woke up, she found the newspaper on the table, as usual, but her husband -- a retired career Army man -- was gone.

Investigators speculate William's military experience may have something to do with his disappearance.

"He left his keys. He left his vehicle. He had his cash laid out," Jean said.

William also left behind his emphysema medication, his credit cards, and his wife of 41 years.

"I don't know what else I can say, he's the other half of the whole," Jean said.

Manchester police say they have one working lead. Two days after Mr. Schmidbauer disappeared from his home, a passing motorist resident reported they saw the Vietnam vet sitting on the ground here along Route 70.

"Since that sighting, we've sat at the intersection here and handed out over 2,000 fliers here trying to alert any motorists that may have picked him up," Det. Joe Hankins said.

Police do not suspect foul play.

But Jean says her husband was depressed before he vanished, adding he still wrestles with traumatic memories from his service in Vietnam.
