A body found Saturday morning near rural Gering, Nebraska, may be that of Moorcroft man Chance Englebert, who has been missing for more than six years, say his family and a private investigator working to solve the disappearance.
Englebert, then 25, vanished during a trip to visit his in-laws in Gering in July 2019. His mother, Dawn, received a call around 7 a.m. Saturday morning from Brian Eads, lead investigator on the case for the Gering Police Department, saying that the body may be tied to Englebert based on clues found at the scene.
The discovery may bring closure to a case that captured widespread local and national media attention.
No official confirmation from the Gering Police Department was available on Saturday.
