The remains were found approximately 967 yards from Goodrich's last known location, and authorities believe they may have been there for over a year.

Lonnie Goodrich, Tyler's father, expressed his belief that the remains are those of his son based on matching tattoos and hair color.

He shared that while this discovery offers a sense of closure, it also initiates a new grieving process for the family.

The local community has been actively involved in the search efforts for Goodrich, forming search parties and providing support to the family.

The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the remains is ongoing, with authorities emphasizing the need for thorough examination and identification.

Interestingly, the area where the remains were found had previously been searched, as indicated by a GIS map created by Lincoln Parks and Recreation.

Chief Deputy Ben Houchin of the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office noted that the body appeared to have been at the site for some time.

The investigation is currently being treated as suspicious, and while authorities are working under the assumption of a possible homicide, they have not classified it as such pending autopsy results.

An autopsy is scheduled for March 10, 2025, and further updates will be provided following the results.

The search for Tyler Goodrich has been ongoing for 16 and a half months, with few leads, including a surveillance video showing him fleeing his home after an argument with his husband.

On March 8, 2025, human remains were discovered near Highway 77 and West Pioneers Boulevard in Lincoln, Nebraska, prompting an investigation into the case of Tyler Goodrich, who has been missing since November 2023.

A passerby walking their dog made the discovery and reported it to authorities around 9:42 a.m.
