The sheriff’s office is seeking the public’s help to locate a missing and possibly endangered Carson City man today.
Foul play is suspected in the case of the missing William McCune, 62. McCune is employed with the state and has been listed as missing and endangered person. He is described as being 5 feet, 9 inches tall, bald, with blue eyes. Coworkers called the sheriff’s office to perform a welfare check today after he failed to board a plane for a business trip with a coworker, according to Sheriff Ken Furlong.

The man was a no-show at his work Wednesday morning and coworkers came to his apartment, knocked, and received no reply, although his car was parked in front of the Villas of Dolphin Bay Apartments in the 700 block of Silver Oak Drive.
When his coworker called their boss Thursday morning to report the man was not on the flight, other coworkers again came to his apartment. This time, his vehicle was gone and they called the police. The first vehicle was later found at an adjacent apartment complex.
The first deputy on scene found obvious and severe signs of a struggle inside the apartment and called for detectives, according to Furlong.
The sheriff’s office found signs of a physical altercation inside the apartment. Assistant District Attorney Mark Krueger was called and search warrant for the man’s apartment were being requested Thursday afternoon.
“We’re treating it as foul play,” Captain Ken Sandage said. “The sheriff’s office is taking every precaution and will collect biological evidence, including blood, that would be otherwise lost in its current form.”
McCune’s second vehicle, a 2000 maroon Dodge Dakota Pickup with tinted windows and license plate 769XTL, has not been found yet.
The sheriff has requested anyone with information or anyone who has seen the pickup either call the investigation division at 283-7851 or the communications center at 887-2013.
