Two brothers are missing after traveling from Wisconsin to Missouri to check on their livestock — and relatives are worried after their rental truck was found abandoned at a part-and-ride lot and their return plane tickets went unused.

The last known contact with her husband, Nick Diemel, 35, and his brother Justin Diemel, 24, came Sunday, according to a missing-persons alert from the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office.

The two were reported missing from Cameron, Missouri, about 50 miles north of Kansas City, and had been in the area of adjacent Clinton and Caldwell counties on business, according to the sheriff’s office.

She said she’d received a text from her husband Sunday morning saying the men were leaving to check on some of their cattle after spending the night at the Quality Inn off Interstate 35. They were due to fly home on Sunday.

On Monday, the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office reached out to its Clinton County counterpart regarding the abandoned vehicle found in Holt, about midway between Cameron and Kansas City.

The Clinton County agency launched its investigation into the brothers’ disappearance shortly after 3 p.m. Monday.

Said Lisa Diemel: “I honestly don’t know what’s happened to them, but something isn’t right.”

She said she and her husband have four children ranging in age from 1 to 17 years old, and the parents constantly touch base when Nick travels. “The older two know something’s going on, especially our 17-year-old,” she said. “The younger two, all they want is their daddy.”

“Nick is my backbone,” she told WDAF. “They’re loved, and we want them home. We want them home safe.”
