The Last Trip

95: Chance Englebert: Gering, Nebraska


Listen Later

On the night of July 6th, 2019, in western Nebraska, a young father seemingly vanished into thin air. 
He was Chance Englebert, a 25 year old welder, cowboy and newlywed - gone without a trace.  Earlier that day, Chance had been visiting his in-laws when a casual round of golf turned tense due to some remarks about his new job that angered him.  Upset, he told his wife he wanted to go back home to Wyoming.  When she didn’t agree to leave town - he got out of the car and walked away.  Alone. On foot. With a storm brewing overhead.
Surveillance cameras later captured him walking through town, looking down at his phone, like someone reading a map. He sent a final text that didn’t sound like it came from him. And just like that, no one ever heard from him again.
His disappearance ignited one of the most baffling manhunts in the region. Drones, cadaver dogs, hundreds of volunteers on the ground, on horseback, and ATVs, 
across 2,400 acres.  Yet despite all the efforts - they’ve never found a single clue. There are no answers.
Listen as we dive into the Nebraska, the case of Chance Englebert, and how to stay alive on vacation.
