POLK CO. — The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in locating a missing and endangered woman believed to have been traveling to Lincoln.
According to a missing persons release, 26-year-old Hannah Neville was last seen on Jan. 15 in Stromsburg.
Investigators say Neville’s vehicle was “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.
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”
Investigators belive its possible Neville was planning to meet with her boyfriend, 27-year-old Roberto Tanner, AKA Robbie Barker. Tanner is not considered a suspect at this time, but is a person of interest.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Polk County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch at 402-747-2231 and request to speak with Sheriff Dwaine Ladwig or Investigator Brittany McCracken.
