Police probe suspicious disappearance of Nevada’s chief insurance examiner

RENO — Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong said Friday he suspects foul play in the disappearance of Nevada’s chief insurance examiner after evidence of a bloody, violent struggle was uncovered in his apartment, according to a report from Reno.

Sheriff’s deputies were called to the apartment Thursday after 62-year-old William McCune failed to board a flight with a co-worker and other employees found no sign of him when they went to his residence.

Furlong said investigators found blood scattered throughout areas of the apartment that indicated an “obvious struggle,” but it was too early to say whether anyone died.

He said it appears McCune’s disappearance involves a “personal relationship” and isn’t work-related.

Nevada Division of Insurance spokesman Jake Sunderland declined to comment on the case, but said McCune has held his position since December 2009.
