‘I want my son’: Tyler Goodrich’s family continues search; husband helping deputies

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – The husband of 35-year-old Tyler Goodrich – who went missing on Nov. 3 around 7:45 p.m. – is now cooperating with the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office.

Chief Deputy Ben Houchin said Monday that Marshall Vogel came to the sheriff’s office and “cleared up some things” for investigators.

“He is considered a witness; he is not a person of interest,” Houchin said.  “He is the last person that we know of that has seen Tyler.”

Last week, Vogel and his family had stopped helping the sheriff’s office, according to Houchin.

The night of Goodrich’s disappearance, deputies were sent to his home near Southwest 12th and West Burnham streets on a report of a disturbance. By the time they arrived, Goodrich had left. 

The sheriff’s office confirmed Monday that it was Vogel who reported the disturbance. 

Houchin said a video from Goodrich’s home shows him running south from his house. That was the last time and place that he was seen.

He said deputies didn’t find Goodrich’s phone and wallet while searching the home.

Friends and family have continued searching for Goodrich.

“It’s the hardest thing that I’d ever had to deal with,” said Goodrich’s father, Lonnie Goodrich. “As family gathers, we know that that spot for Tyler may never be filled again.” 

The family is asking people who know something to report it. 

“Man up, come forward, tell us what you know,” Lonnie Goodrich said. “If it’s criminal, I don’t care if you’re ever prosecuted. I want my son.”
