Phillip Madlock, 34, was last seen June 28, 2017, in Lincoln, Nebraska and reported missing by his family on July 10 after more than two weeks without contact. Before his disappearance he told family he feared for his life, describing a string of strange incidents after a recent trip to the Dominican Republic and saying he had borrowed money from people linked to a gang and could not repay the debt.

In early 2018 two men, Dominic Aguirre and Paul Clark, were charged in connection with Phillip’s death. Investigators say the men assaulted him over a drug-related debt and later disposed of a body by burning it on a farm near Ashland, Nebraska. No human remains attributable to Phillip have been recovered; bone fragments found at the scene were identified as non-human. Both men accepted plea deals and received lengthy prison terms for their roles, while murder charges were dropped.

Phillip’s body has not been located and his family continues to seek closure. If anyone has information about Phillip’s whereabouts or the events around late June 2017 in Lincoln or Ashland, please share what is known.
