Case Information

Background
Tyler Goodrich was born on April 2, 1988. He has three sisters and a younger brother. He is the father of two teenage sons whom he adopted with his husband, Marshall Vogel.
Goodrich grew up in Bennet, Nebraska. He attended Palmyra High School where he played golf and basketball along with running cross country. He came out in his 20’s.
Goodrich is a resident of Lincoln Nebraska, a 20 minute drive from where his family still resides. He lived with his husband and their two adopted sons in a house on West Burnham Street.
Goodrich is a National Guard veteran and worked at the Nebraska Department of Corrections in Omaha. He is an avid runner and marathoner.
Disappearance
On November 3, 2023, Tyler Goodrich worked a shift at the Nebraska Department of Corrections in Omaha where he was employed. Around 5:30 pm, Goodrich went to Costco to pick up pizza for dinner for the family.
Goodrich returned home soon after and had dinner with his husband, Marshall Vogel, and their youngest son. Later that night, the couple reportedly got into an argument upon discussing their relationship and Vogel ended up calling 911.
While Vogel was on the phone with 911, Tyler left their home through the garage.
Around 7:41 pm, Goodrich was last seen on security camera running along a gravel road south of his home in Lincoln, Nebraska. When police eventually arrived, Goodrich was nowhere to be seen.
Tyler Goodrich never returned home and hasn’t been heard from since. He didn’t show up for a team marathon he had signed up for that weekend.
At 9:35 am on November 4, 2023, his husband filed a missing person report with the Lincoln Police Department when Tyler failed to return home.
Investigation
Tyler Goodrich disappeared with his wallet and cellphone which last pinged to an area in South West 13th and West Van Dorn streets near his home.
Authorities reviewed surveillance footage of Tyler from Costco on the day he disappeared and state he did appear to be in any distress.
His phone records, bank account, and social media have had no activity since he disappeared.
In January 2024, Crime Stoppers received a handwritten letter regarding Tyler’s disappearance which led to hopes that authorities might be closer to finding him.
However it was later revealed that the letter was written by a woman who had a “vision” of what happened to him, and did not contain any evidence that furthered the investigation.
Remains of Tyler Goodrich Found
The remains of Tyler Goodrich have been found, more than a year after he went missing.
The discovery came on the morning of March 8, 2025, when a person walking their dog found a man’s body in the woods near Highway 77 and West Pioneers Boulevard, less than 1,000 yards from Tyler’s home.
Officials are treating the death as suspicious, but not as a homicide. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday morning.
