LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Investigators have found several belongings of Tyler Goodrich, authorities said Wednesday.

“Investigators have recovered clothing, a cellphone, wallet, key and a watch, near the area where Tyler was found,” Chief Deputy Ben Houchin said.

Private investigator Erik Rezabek told Channel 8 that the items were behind an outbuilding near Highway 77 and West Pioneers Boulevard.

He said they were 40 to 50 yards from where Goodrich’s body was.
