They stayed there till the evening. While on a call, Bart saw him in the parking lot buts shortly afterward, as he turned around, Schultz was nowhere to be seen. After an extensive search, law enforcement discovered Schultz’s dead body on Monday in a wooded area near Interstate 64 and Route 219 in Lewisburg.
