Hi, I'm Josh Mankiewicz with a preview of Dateline Missing in America.

[00:05.04 - 00:10.30]

In our podcast's third season, we share six new unsolved mysteries.

[00:11.10 - 00:16.28]

And we hope somebody listening may have a clue that could help crack one of these cases.

[00:17.44 - 00:19.46]

Could that someone be you?

[00:20.22 - 00:22.44]

Here's Dateline Missing in America.

[00:26.64 - 00:30.28]

It was Tyler Goodrich's 36th birthday.

[00:31.28 - 00:35.80]

And in his hometown of Bennett, Nebraska, that meant it was time for a party.

[00:38.06 - 00:41.22]

There was an Oreo cake, Tyler's favorite.

[00:41.64 - 00:43.18]

And of course, this.

[00:44.06 - 00:47.66]

Happy birthday, dear Tyler.

Unknown Speaker

[00:49.30 - 00:53.84]

Happy birthday to you.

[00:54.88 - 00:55.60]

Love you, son.

Speaker 1

[00:56.18 - 01:01.64]

This party was like any birthday celebration, except for one huge thing.

[01:02.40 - 01:04.02]

The guest of honor wasn't there.

[01:05.06 - 01:10.20]

Tyler Goodrich had disappeared five months earlier, on November 3rd, 2023.

[01:11.28 - 01:16.74]

He's still missing, and the people he loves most can't make any sense of it.

[01:17.46 - 01:19.60]

Lonnie Goodrich is Tyler's father.

[01:20.38 - 01:25.10]

Every night before I go to bed, I stand at the window and I beg him for answers.

[01:26.36 - 01:27.36]

I beg him to come home.

[01:28.28 - 01:33.42]

Tyler's sister, Felicia Nicholson, is struggling to adjust to this new reality.

Speaker 3

[01:34.30 - 01:41.52]

I'm so frustrated and angry that somebody knows where Tyler is.

[01:41.64 - 01:43.90]

Somebody knows something.

Speaker 1

[01:44.76 - 01:46.98]

This disappearance has baffled investigators.

[01:47.64 - 01:50.18]

It has also brought a community together.

Speaker 2

[01:50.54 - 01:54.28]

People were making yard signs and printing flyers.

[01:54.60 - 01:58.34]

You couldn't drive down a single street without seeing Tyler's face.

[01:58.44 - 01:59.32]

I mean, you still can't.

Speaker 1

[02:00.94 - 02:04.48]

I'm Josh Mankiewicz, and this is Dateline Missing in America.

[02:05.14 - 02:07.20]

This episode is Running Man.

[02:08.94 - 02:11.98]

We first covered Tyler's case in December 2023.

[02:13.06 - 02:17.38]

Please listen closely, because you or someone you know may have information

[02:17.38 - 02:22.40]

that could help Tyler's family and friends find the answers they're still looking for.

[02:25.26 - 02:26.38]

Thanks for listening.
