Richard Chadek III (3 of Clubs Nebraska)

AUDIOCHUCK
About this episode

Our card this week is Richard Chadek III, the 3 of Clubs from Nebraska.

When an 11-year-old went missing from a quiet Nebraska suburb in 1986, an entire task force got to work searching for him. But as days passed by, their hopes for a safe return dwindled, and the unimaginable was confirmed a week after the disappearance. It’s been 38 years since Richard Chadek III was taken in broad daylight… but that doesn’t mean the leads have all dried up. 

  • If you have any information regarding the abduction of Richard Chadek in 1986 please contact the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Tip Line at 402-444-6000.
