Sioux City Journal is claiming to have seen the death certificate. Cause of death is hypothermia due to acute methamphetamine intoxication.
All of the conspiracy theorists have to be highly disappointed in this outcome.
If conspiracy theorists are anything they are wildly resilient.
As someone who suspected something more foul initially (but figured drugs were in the mix), chalk another up for Occam's Razor.
Everything west of Highway 63, north of Highway 30 (with the obvious exception of the Loess Hills) is pretty flat.Western Iowa is not flat, north central is. GYST.
Everything south or east of there? Not so much.
You can see it pretty clearly on Google. There isn't really a highway that serves as an obvious border.
When you're on Highway 20 it doesn't seem to get hilly until Correctionville or so.
The line between the Iowan Surface and Paleozoic plateau is strikingly close. The town I live in is literally on the edge and the west side of town is just basically unending flatness stretching west, and the east of town is the land rolling down to the Upper Iowa River.
So the guy was high on meth, pulled over probably to pee, and most likely couldn’t find his way back to the truck and froze to death. Sounds about right. Meth is a nasty drug.
From what I remember, "pulled over" would have to be used very loosely. He was not on the side of the road whatsoever. Which would lend credence to your last sentence, of course.
Edit
Schultz, a married father of twin boys, was last heard from in the early morning hours of Nov. 21. His red Peterbilt semi with white stripes was parked in the middle of the northbound lane of County Road N-14 (Union Avenue), not far from where it intersects with D-15 (190th Street). Schultz was nowhere to be found on that stretch of paved roadway, which is flanked by cornfields.
The truck was reportedly shut off, the lights were off and the key was in the ignition. Deputies found Schultz's wallet and cellphone inside. A towel, cellphone charger and pocketknife were found with his coat on the opposite side of the road, according to Sac County Sheriff Ken McClure

The idea of a truck driver hitting a meth pipe before getting behind the wheel of a semi is pretty terrifying. Sure it happens more than we think.
Don’t want to go down the political route, but there was a former White House aid that named a drug that the doctors prescribe to our reps and White House staff/officials when they need them to stay focused. Forget the name of it right now.
Said it was the same thing they give to the bombers that fly bomber raids. And people wonder way so many of them seem unhinged.
