Last August, the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department launched an online resource listing 57 unsolved cases from their area of responsibility from as far back as the 1950’s–today there are 69 total cases described on the page. A family member of Hans Lippuner let us know that he had been recently added. In addition, we learned from the Sheriff’s Department that a missing Southern Humboldt man, Mark Burleigh had also been recently added.

“Family members contacted our Major Crimes Division and requested that their loved one’s case be added,” Samantha Karges, spokesperson for the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department explained. “Our unsolved cases investigators looked over the cases and agreed that they should be added.”

The two Newest Additions to the HCSO Unsolved Cases Page:

  • Hans Lippuner: On November 1, 2018, Hans Lippuner was reported missing to the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office. He was last seen by his housemates on October 16, 2018 in the Dows Prairie area.

Lippuner has not been seen since his disappearance and is missing under suspicious circumstances. Hans Lippuner
