Tyler Goodrich found, but more than 700 other Nebraskans remain missing

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – While one missing persons in Nebraska comes to an end, hundreds of others remain a mystery.

“When my sister disappeared, I looked for her every waking hour for six months,” Jannel Rap said.

She last saw her sister, Regina Bos, almost 25 years ago, Regina Bos. She went missing on Oct. 17, 2000, in Lincoln.

It’s one of the most high-profile unsolved cases in Nebraska.

“She was the big mouth of the family, willing to take risks,” Rap said. “She was an amazing human.”

Cases like these can get more attention when another missing persons case, like Tyler Goodrich’s, is solved.

In 2024, the Nebraska Missing Persons Clearinghouse webpage saw an average of 10,000 visits per month in 2024, according to the Nebraska State Patrol.

There was a spike in visitors in late November 2023, around the same time Goodrich vanished.
