Human Remains Discovered Near Missing Lincoln Man's Home

Authorities are investigating the discovery of human remains near Highway 77 and West Pioneers Boulevard, less than 1,000 yards from the home of Tyler Goodrich, a 35-year-old man missing since November 2023. The body, found by a dog walker, appears to have been at the location for over a year, prompting investigators to contact Goodrich's family. Chief Deputy Ben Houchin of the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office indicated that while the death is being treated as suspicious, it is not classified as a homicide. An autopsy is scheduled to confirm the identity of the deceased, but Goodrich's family believes the remains belong to him based on identifying features. The area where the body was located had previously been searched for Goodrich, raising questions about previous investigations. Further details are expected to be released during a press briefing following the autopsy.
