Missing Lincoln man has ‘gone off the grid’, sheriff’s office says​

After leaving his home in southwest Lincoln on Friday, there has been no sign of 35-year-old Tyler Goodrich.

Deputies from the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office were initially called to the Yankee Hill neighborhood Friday at 7:45 p.m. for a verbal disagreement between Goodrich and his husband Marshall Vogel. However, upon arrival, Goodrich had already left, and since no criminal activity was found, LSO left the area.

Vogel then called LSO at 9:35 p.m. the following day to report Goodrich as missing. Goodrich is 6′2, 180 pounds and was last seen wearing running shorts, a sweatshirt that zips, gray running shoes, and a Garmin watch, with his phone and wallet in hand.

“The reason we are so concerned is because he has gone off the grid,” said Chief Deputy Benjamin Houchin. “We do not have any information. His phone is not on and we know that he has not had any financials.”

LSO said the family has cooperated in the investigation and even organized a search party with some friends on Sunday. People close to Goodrich said his phone last pinged near Southwest 10th and West Van Dorn streets. On Sunday, they searched that area for Goodrich, but didn’t find anything.

Did any of the articles say how old the kids are? Surely they’ve been interviewed, if possible.

Based on perusing Tyler and his husband's Facebook pages, the kids appear to be one in the early teens and one pre-teen. It appears at least one of them was adopted just a few months ago (perhaps both, not sure). I'm not going to post more or any pictures to protect their privacy, but they are definitely old enough to have been interviewed and share what they know.

So we have one (if not two) children brand new to a couple and who I am sure did not pick the parents and here they are in the midst of a domestic something shortly after I will be careful with this but would just say there isn't going to be love in either direction that comes from bearing children or years together and it causes doubt about the reason he would not want them questioned, is it truly concern for the children...?

I'd also agree they sound old enough to be interviewed and are probably not going to be as traumatized as they would be if these were their lifelong parents or as conflicted. Guessing of course.

In fact, I think IF newly adopted, the kids SHOULD be talked to as to if they feel safe and what situation they are living in and if any concerns...

For the children, if they are not siblings or adopted at the same time, this is quite a situation, two new parents you don't know and a sibling you don't know either. And then in the midst of a domestic and a missing man/parent. And then for the men as well, you have two new children you don't know who aren't youngsters and who are put into a new and alien situation. I'm sorry but there would e no instant family/bonding amongst all and I'd dare say all members are in a new and stressful situation and especially the kids. I'd say it would be a stressful time for all and there'd be little "glue" that would be present in a long term established family unit.

Maybe to be fair this worried the hub more than just protecting the children, what would they say about the parents and life with them in general even... So they were approved to adopt is another point and here they are with a domestic... Although we all know adoption approval and the process these days does not seem to exist quite often with any real hoops to jump through....

Yeah, I think I'll just leave it alone as this is fraught with thoughts and I don't even know how long the men were together or the length of relationship but clearly this is a new chapter for them IF even long term together and likely not an easy time.

I will end with these kids should be talked to and it shouldn't perhaps take permission. Clearly if adopted (also with bio but more so here) and recently, their safety and situation they are in as newly adopted should be a concern and looked into.

I don't do SM but can I just ask if they are boys or girls or one of each?

Hard to talk of, trying to avoid going too far and there is a missing man but I think this changes things and these kids should be first and foremost, here they are thrust into a family that isn't stable. I think it is far and logical to say that based on the little we know. Missing man matters but these kids' welfare maybe should come first? I'm sorry but clearly they aren't in a stable environment and now here they are unprotected and at least one newly adopted...

I lack the knowledge SM can bring for a fuller picture but I think the kids should be protected and talked with. This isn't a missing child case but we have seen way too much of this kind of thing re adoption or fostering where there is no vetting as there once was or maybe so we all thought. There are two kids in a situation of two adults who are not stable, I think we can say that much, or adding of kids rocked the stability boat. Either way, the kids should come first for LE and all of us. And I am saying so.

Either one "parent" is missing by choice, suicided or murdered. are pretty much the options. I think that can be agreed on although I guess some could believe accident or ran into some bad people on his "run". Whatever way one looks at it, out of an abundance of caution and protecting minors, the children should be removed. Imo. And we may have another case of they never should have been allowed to adopt. Maybe so, maybe not. But kids are involved and I think they should err on the side of caution.

Not that there is probably anywhere great for them to go and will be an upheaval in their lives but so is this.

I stick to my thoughts of Tyler is either voluntarily missing or the hub is responsible. In either case, these kids shouldn't be in such a situation and their safety should be ensured. Maybe no one did wrong as to the parents, but in such a situation, err to the side of caution with children. Someone did call the cops, a man is missing and the children are with one who did not raise them and could be responsible. Take no chances. Even if not talked to as to the disappearance, they SHOULD be able to talk to them as to their situation, safety and life with the two new parents.

It isn't that way as it should be but the safety of minors should be paramount. And come first. Imho.

Thank you for fb info as I don't get to see that.

 

[Guess Who]

I took it to be their own camera on was it the west side of the home? I read it somewhere here in a link I think in the last day or two. It SOUNDED like it was theirs although I guess it could be a neighbor's BUT that video is him on the side of the house as he took off. It is what I read somewhere. I amazed myself to realize on occasion I do read some links with the total lack of time to do so I have. Lol.

Neighbors camera is what I've seen it being shown as.

Adopting a teen, let alone possibly two, sure could create some stress all by itself. That kind of puts a different spin on to what might have been going on. That couldn't have been easy, even if it went"easy".

I agree. This is a family that wasn't a family a "moment" before. And each child probably comes with or from their own broken home or experiences and issues and heartbreak. It is a hard working time and child care etc. and school for bio families. We also don't know I don't think how long these two men were together/married and clearly there are hints it wasn't an un-turbulent relationship, unless the turbulence started after adopting kids.

It does put a different light on things It may not be fact but it is a no brainer that this sounds different than if these men had ten or fifteen solid good years together and at some point adopted say four and six year olds and have raised them together in the years since, there would be a glue and a family.

I'm sorry but this changes it as it sounds nothing of the sort. I also doubt the problems started with the kids but that they were added into what was already a tumultuous relationship. Or abusive one. Just a guess.

Finally, it sheds an entirely different light on the one not wanting the kids talked with and the reasons. These kids aren't youngsters who wouldn't see or know what was going on/went on and they aren't necessarily bonded with either man or as a family.

I'm not saying any of what I am saying is fact but it all is very likely based on the kids being adopted and at least one recently and a newcomer and thrown into the mix. If not two.

 

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed]

So because their children are older and recently adopted, there can't possibly have been a family bond or much love. Interesting take.
It appears they've been together for at least 5 years.
It sheds absolutely no light on why he "didn't want the kids talked with". It's already been said he and the family were, and are again, 100% cooperative.

I don't mean there couldn't be any bond or love but it certainly wouldn't be the same and I mean in both directions of what there would be with time, raising, knowing, etc.

And clearly things weren't stable with the parents or their behavior that night. Of course maybe the kids were not present but I would think they were.

I didn't say it was the reason on why he did not want them talked to, I said or am saying it opens it up more to the other possibilities. He may well have totally fallen in love with the kids, bonded ihimself and been protecting them but I don't think I need to point out some other cases with adopted children where they kept the kids from being able to talk/get help and with bad endings. And where they were taken in for the sheer money and not fed, etc.

I am not saying this is that or isn't.

But there IS a domestic "dispute", a missing man, a timeline and ping that don't add up and newly adopted kid/s and I'd assume the kids remain with the man who is not missing and he doesn't want them talked to. Again, for maybe very valid reasons but we don't know either way and I'd say this info makes it a bit more questionable as to the reasons, and yes, sheds a bit more light on there could be other reasons.

There may be no crime here yet but there are serious questions.

I'd also say plop a teenager in someone else's home that has had a life elsewhere and believing they are going to bond easily is maybe not impossible but unlikely. Especially in that amount of short time and in what appears not to be a fully stable couple. This may have been a one time thing, the "verbal" dispute, I don't know, we don't know.

Five years imo is a short relationship and that also means these kids have not been there for any longer than that and probably a lot less.

I am not "dissing" a soul. I am taking what is there and just "life" and circumstances. As of yesterday morning I felt him missing voluntarily. I am still undecided.

And I also am not judging him/them on other adopted cases but Lord knows we have seen MANY where there was no bonding and it was all for $$. I'm not saying that here either, the info is too slim but this certainly was no "long term" well established family. One for sure was a newcomer. Am I wrong on that?

If that was in response to what I said, that is in no way what I meant. Just a lot of change recently in a lot of lives and teens...well, they are teens. Nothing about bonding or no bonding. Just them being teens puts a totally different spin on dynamics vs them being younger kids.

And I guess now we know the Costco stop wasn't for diapers.

I think it was probably meant towards me.

I know what you meant. Parents who have been through all the ages of children would see that and that's not a knock at anyone without children either.

I am the one who talked of bonding.

 

[Guess Who]

Also, recent adoption doesn't necessarily mean they hadn't all been living together for years before it became official.

 

[GrandmaBear]

That's a good point. Entirely possible

 

[GrandmaBear]

Well there IS a man who has been missing for 14 days now.

Now I am thinking if he went any further that night that you'd think there would be other camera captures... Or sightings. Or use of a credit or debit card, etc. It isn't like he took anything, packed anything, stopped for a bunch of cash, etc. So I'm leaning off voluntarily missing although I leave it as an option but it is becoming slimmer.

I am not sure at all on this one. I'm pretty sure it started out as voluntary, at least. After that??? Not enough info for me to have a clue.

I'm not either. They have to clear up the ping and the time line for me to have any certainty.

It is not proven but I do accept that is likely him on camera. I mean I don't know if it would stand up as clear proof but it fits and makes sense and looks like him but it is a quick blur.

The ping and timeline is the sticking point. Verbal disagreement at that time/that night is another.

There is NO evidence he every left their yard or area. That BOTHERS me.

We know little about these men and I'm not saying we should, there is no crime we know of and we can't expect to and I don't do SM to have that kind of impression, info or idea. The only time I see social media is if someone shares it like on a YT video and no one is covering this that i watch so I don't know a bit more than what is here in this thread.

I don't like the lack of further sightings, the shut off phone with last ping at home, the lack of use of any credit card, etc. No proof he ever went far from home. He didn't even take a vehicle. I see no reason at all to think a murder or crime was committed but I also see no reason to think he did no re enter the home after cops left. And at that point there were many hours until reported missing the next day.

I am not accusing, like you say, I am just not sure in this one, not enough info but the info there is does bring questions...

I disregard accident or suicide although of course neither can be 100 percent impossible. I think them the most unlikely.

I also have to wonder about the home searches. Apparently there was more than one before he refused and lawyered up. Maybe for valid reasons, do not take that to mean he shouldn't have or anyone wise shouldn't have if they were going after him, etc. or to protect the kids. I don't judge on that but of course wonder.

I can only wonder with more than one search though and it sounded like wanting another, the reason why. For one, I'd GUESS they can't place him timewise anywhere but home last. I'd also just GUESS that one search gave them doubts or reasons to want another... Or they were limited in searching in some way. Total GUESSES on my part and I am only just thinking of this now as we have talked some out here today of other things, etc.

I also am realizing the same LE would only have heard HIS side of the "verbal" disagreement story the night before...Not Tyler's. Maybe the kids, at that point, hard to say, when officers responded. And it is still POSSIBLE a kid called this IN. As possible as anyone. Isn't this a home? What are the odds neighbors heard it inside from next door, that just comes to me now for the first time too? Not the same as an apartment...

Just tryiing to work some things out here I haven't thought of before as I "talk" it out.

One kid or another could have a cell phone easily and called from their room.

So now let me think.

So the next day when reported missing by same guy they had talked to the night before they already had whatever he'd said and kids if any and what a 911 caller said whoever it was. So the same LE looks at it and also has the night before, the call and their opinion of believability... And of course we don't know their history, crimnial, DV or if any, etc. LE does.

Even with just thinking all this and talking it out I am not of an opinion, just thinking, speculating. There is NO reason at all to think there was a crime here or accuse anyone so I'm not and I'm not with any solid opinion on it and have no reason to think such. Just looking at the possibiliites.

I will say that every day that passes makes it far more unlikely he is missing voluntarily especially with no sightings, card usage, nothing with him for clothing, MISSING work, etc. There ARE some red flags here.

If HE IS missing voluntarily then he is a selfish arsehole knowing hei is being looked for, that cops are looking at his hub possibly and what hub and kids are going through.

It COULD be suicide but I don't buy it. Take your wallet and phone, think about this, but NEVER use either... What did you need/want them for to begin with. It would have to be a sudden last minute decision to suicide then. Accident would be sooooo unlikely and coincidental imo.

Didn't take his vehicle but could have...

I watched the vid a couple of times but for me it was a blur other than it looked like him. For those that know more how to slow, enhance, etc. any view of wallet or cell? Did the shorts have pockets? Etc.?

Wallet and cell said by hub I believe hat he saw him take OR determined they were missing. LE couldn't know that on their own...

So far not a single camera or sighting away from home at least as far as last ping time. No one has found the wallet or cell phone or any evidence of him or his stuff. No cards, etc. have been used. No gas station videos of him using cash and getting food, etc. Of course not all would be found that easily or all people know he is missing but just saying in two weeks none of that...

Lol I didn't start this post out with any such direction but as I thought of one thing, then another, I continued.

I'm still not sold on anything but there definitely are a lot of questions and things that don't make sense. So far anyhow. If he is alive and somewhere else then where? That he'd take losing his job, never need to use a car or credit cards, etc.

Suicide is not out the window but it sure would be a hasty one when up to then he seemed to have a normal day of work, stop at Costco, etc. And doesn't sound like he fled with any gun, rope, knife...

That’s how I took it, too. My own natural sons caused a lot of stress in my life when they were teens!

 

[Kimster]

I remember the case that happened a long time ago where a woman got in a fight with her boyfriend and ran off. The boyfriend’s truck was seen backing up to the garage and all the things that you would make you think that something nefarious happened, but what really happened was when she ran off she hid in a service truck belonging to a school (if I remember correctly). She got in there and she couldn’t get out! And she accidentally died in it!

It’s just something that keeps ringing in my ears with this case. But I’m still hoping that he took off and is out there on purpose and is fine otherwise.

One of mine as a teen was....let's just say... a LOT of drama. Day in and day out. Good kid, in general, but wow, lots and lots of unnecessary drama. I can totally understand the desire and need to just go for a walk, in my case, to just clear my head and keep from making a stupid decision out of frustration.
