Peter Achermann’s family still struggles with finding answers in his disappearance
“It’s strange,” Cass County Sheriff Tom Burch said, as his department has followed many leads over the years but still haven’t found any trace of Achermann or his belongings. “This case remains open and we’re trying to figure out what happened to him. We want to bring comfort to the family and give them closure and answers on what happened to him.”

LEADER — When 16-year-old Delaine Voigt met Peter Achermann, it was love at first sight.
She knew right then and there she was going to marry him, and she did on April 13, 1953. They had 11 children over time and the family eventually settled in the 1960s on a remote 540-acre farm in Leader. Today, the family property consists of about 200 acres.
