Summary
On September 12, 1987, 50-year-old Dale Kerstetter clocked into his overnight security shift at Corning Glassworks in Bradford, Pennsylvania. It was supposed to be an ordinary night at a place he’d worked for years, but by the time morning came, Dale was gone– and so was over $250,000 in platinum. Now, almost forty years later, Dale has never been found, and what happened that night remains a subject of debate. Was Dale the victim of a robbery? Was he forced to help? Or, was he involved… and then double-crossed? If you have information about Dale Kerstetter’s disappearance or the platinum theft at Corning Glassworks, you can contact Pennsylvania State Police at 814-938-0532.
