534: What the Neighbors Saw (from "48 Hours")

From True Crime Obsessed True Crime Obsessed

In 2013, Gary Herpst left his wife and son and went missing. But... they didn't seem to mind all that much and only RELUCTANTLY filed a missing person report for him. Turns out this guy was a reeeeeeeeal piece of work - to quote The Chicks, "a missing person who nobody missed at all." So it wasn't until 2020, when a piece of his skull was dug up by a dog, that anyone, including his neighbors, learned the truth of what happened.
