Do you hold the key to cracking the David Yeager case? David was 17 years old when he vanished from his home in Shreveport, Louisiana on Feb. 6, 1971. His family, still searching for answers, is begging for help in this decades-old mystery.

David’s cousin, Kelly Chance, has made it her mission to find David, whether that means locating him or unraveling the tragic circumstances surrounding his disappearance.

Shreveport Police Sgt. Richard Turpen is now the lead on David’s case. He is hoping that having David’s case back in the spotlight will help generate new information. Turpen says that trying to solve David’s case is like putting together a puzzle without all the pieces, but he has vowed to never give up.
