NE NE - Chance Englebert, 25, Gering, 6 July 2019 (new father) #2

The longer a person stays away the harder it is to go back.
After the initial euphoria at his return, anger and bitterness would set in and there was enough of that before he left.
I agree with rosesfromangles and have from the beginning.

Every time I see this in the new post threads I hope that he's been found. I think about this case often.

I do too. He appears to be a great guy, and I’m sure his friends and family miss him sorely. I hope my niggling speculation is right.

Sadly, I don't think he is alive. He loved his family and knowing his grandmother is getting older, he would have gotten a message to her. I truly wish his family would learn the truth and what happened so they could find a little peace. He's one of our missing from my state.

Family of Missing Moorcroft Man Refuse To Give Up As They Revamp Billboard Again

It’s going on six years since Moorcroft's Chance Englebert vanished while visiting in-laws in Nebraska. His family remains desperate for any news of him,…

The smiling face on the billboard along the two-lane highway in rural western Nebraska is a grim reminder of a family’s loss and their desperate pleas for answers.

It’s been nearly six years since Moorcroft, Wyoming, man Chance Englebert disappeared on a weekend trip to visit his in-laws.

*****
The family first put up the billboard in 2020 on the first-year anniversary of his disappearance. Every couple years, it requires a costly facelift to repair the faded image and peeling vinyl.

The billboard was initially paid for by donations, but the endeavor has since been taken over by Englebert’s grandmother, Linda Kluender, who took the occasion of her birthday in February to touch it up for the third time.

*****
It’s a costly endeavor at around $1,800 to $2,100 to revamp and then $350 each month to rent, but it’s worth every penny to Kluender.

“We will not give up,” Kluender said. “That billboard will be up as long as there is breath in me, and then I pray I can leave Dawn enough to continue it.”

God bless this family. I'm glad to see they can keep this billboard up and keep his name out there. This is a strange case. He didn't just disappear. He went (and is) somewhere. Why can't they find him?

This is such a sad case... and the billboard DOES keep informing more and more people...like us here.

I just do not understand why there was animosity between the families? Normally, I would have thought it would bring families together. All it seems to have been was a bunch of squabbling the day he disappeared....



Is it discussed way back when? Woiuld love someone to enlighten me.... thanks,

I think they have avoided discussing the argument that occurred on the golf course, other than it may have been about Chance's job/income?

The wife's family didn't like Chance very much from what I gather. They attacked him about his income/job and he "went missing" shortly after. Then they withheld Chance's kid from Chance's side of the family.

I also believe alcohol may have played a role but that could also just be an easy excuse. I think we are missing a bigger part of the story obviously and I don’t think there will be resolution in this case unless he is physically found or unless they keep interviewing the key players involved that day. They need to find some discrepancies and then try to crack open the truth through those channels. I think less blaming and more honesty could do a world of difference here. I wish both sides could think of his young son who now misses out on having his dad raise him. Money is great but it can’t replace the human experience of family and love. It’s very sad and I hope answers resolution to this case comes sooner rather than later.

I agree with this 100%.

I agree with this 100%.

More honesty would require some additional information. They don't seem to be willing to work with LE or the father's family. A families son is dead, the father of their grandchild. And the people with him last don't want to talk about it. Where does honesty start?

He finally picked up her call at 7:46 pm, told her he was walking south toward Kimball and hung up. Later reports from his friends indicated he had told them he...

Or maybe something related to the child?
Just an amateur opinion and speculation.
