Hi, I'm Josh Mankiewicz with a preview of Dateline Missing in America. In our podcast's third season, we share six new unsolved mysteries, and we hope somebody listening may have a clue that could help crack one of these cases. Could that someone be you? Here's Dateline Missing in America.

It was Tyler Goodrich's 36th birthday, and in his hometown of Bennett, Nebraska, that meant it was time for a party. Good to see you again. Good to see you. There was an Oreo cake, Tyler's favorite, and of course, this. Birthday dear Tyler, birthday to you. Love you son.

This party was like any birthday celebration, except for one huge thing. The guest of honor wasn't there. Tyler Goodrich had disappeared five months earlier on November 3rd, 2023. He's still missing and the people he loves most can't make any sense of it. Lonnie Goodrich is Tyler's father. Every night before I go to bed, I stand at the window and I beg him for answers. I beg him to come home.

Tyler's sister, Felicia Nicholson, is struggling to adjust to this new reality. I'm so frustrated and angry that somebody knows where Tyler is. Somebody knows where he is.

This disappearance has baffled investigators. It has also brought a community together. People were making yard signs and printing flyers. You couldn't drive down a single street without seeing Tyler's face. I mean, you still can't. I'm Josh Mankiewicz, and this is Dateline Missing in America. This episode is Running Man. We first covered Tyler's case in December 2023.

Please listen closely, because you or someone you know may have information that could help Tyler's family and friends find the answers they're still looking for. Thanks for listening.
