The Lincoln Police Department is now leading the search for 26-year-old Hannah Neville, a pregnant woman last seen in mid-January, and her boyfriend.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office initiated the investigation Thursday, reporting that Neville was last seen on Jan. 15 in Stromsburg. Investigators later found Neville’s vehicle “abandoned and found completely engulfed in flames” in Lancaster County on Jan. 16. The vehicle was a silver 2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer with no license plates.
Investigators believe Neville was planning to meet with her boyfriend, 27-year-old Roberto Tanner, AKA Robbie Barker. Tanner is not considered a suspect, but is a person of interest and considered missing at this time.
“The last known whereabouts of Hannah and Roberto were here in Lincoln,” LPD Public Information Manager Erika Thomas told KLIN News.
Authorities say the investigation into the vehicle fire is still ongoing and it has not been determined whether this was accidental or arson. Neville’s phone pinged 10 days ago, on Jan. 19, on I-80 near Lincoln, according to an advisory from the Nebraska State Patrol’s Emergency Alert System.
Neville is thirty-two weeks pregnant and has reportedly missed medical appointments. Due to this and the circumstances surrounding her vehicle, Neville is considered missing and endangered.
She is described as 5’2″ white female with brown hair, green eyes, weighing approximately 180 lbs. with unknown clothing. She is believed to be in possession of a light blue Nike backpack. Neville has several potentially identifying tattoos:
- Right hand: Rose with the name “Delaney”
- Right forearm: Skull with the word “Rebel”
- Left forearm: Sunflower with the word “Ohana”
Anyone with information is urged to contact Lincoln Police at 402-441-6000, or Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600 to remain anonymous.
