Missing Lincoln Mother Identified in Rural Furnas County Discovery

The case of a missing Lincoln mother reached a tragic conclusion this week in rural Furnas County. Jerica Hamre, aged 30, was reported missing on July 3, 2024, after she was last seen at her home on Huntington Avenue.

Discovery of Jerica Hamre’s Body

Authorities discovered Hamre’s remains on a farm just north of Oxford on the morning of Wednesday. A farm worker found her body in an outbuilding while preparing the property for sale. The Lincoln Police Department confirmed that an autopsy conducted on Friday verified the identity of the remains.

Timeline of Events

Last Seen: June 25, 2024, in Lincoln.
Missing Reported: July 3, 2024.

Following her disappearance, law enforcement quickly determined that her case was suspicious. Investigators received tips that led them to search a property near Overton in October 2024, but no related evidence was found.

Ongoing Investigation

Currently, Hamre’s death is being treated as a homicide. Captain Ben Miller of the Lincoln Police Department indicated that a person of interest is in custody for unrelated charges. Authorities emphasized that there is no ongoing threat to the community.

Community Support and Search Efforts

In the wake of her disappearance, Jerica’s parents have taken on the responsibility of raising her daughters. Efforts to find Hamre included searches led by private investigator Erik Rezabek and a group called “Bring ’em Home Nebraska.” They scoured approximately 900 square miles of challenging terrain but did not locate any new evidence.
