On October 13^th 2008 the Gage County Sheriff's Office and Marshall County Kansas Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a male subject tearing his truck up and acting suspicious.  Marshall County Sheriff's Office spoke with the 52 year old Eric Brox of Lincoln and it was believed that there may have been a female with him while in Gage and Marshall Counties, however, this has not been confirmed and search efforts are to rule out any possible foul play.

A search was then conducted, Sunday October 13^th, in the immediate area surrounding the incident site utilizing the Gage County Sheriff's K-9, Nebraska State Patrol helicopter and deputies from Gage County and Marshall County Sheriff's Office on foot.  No female was located.

On October 16^th the Gage County Sheriff's Office, Marshall County Sheriff's Office, Gage County Emergency Management Agency, a search dog from Lincoln, Nebraska State Patrol helicopter, and Kansas State Patrol helicopter searched approximately five square miles surrounding the initial incident scene from Sunday.
