Authorities say a missing elderly Nebraska couple who had been reported missing two months prior has been found dead.
The couple from Aurora, Robert Proctor, 89, and Loveda Proctor, 92, were last seen on camera in Hastings on January 12, according to KFXL-TV. The two were discovered deceased, and no foul play is believed, according to announcements made Saturday afternoon by the Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office and the Aurora Police Department.
Deputies were alerted at 3:15 p.m. by a civilian who discovered a car stopped on a “minimal maintenance road.” The Proctors’ car was soon recognised by deputies as their own. The two adults were discovered deceased close to the incident.
“Autopsies have been ordered by the Buffalo County Attorney’s Office. The investigation is ongoing and includes the Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office, Aurora Police Department, and Kearney Police Department. Additional information will be forthcoming as it becomes available,” a press release reads.
Members of the Proctor family reportedly spent every day searching for the couple.
“They have instilled a lot of values that are important in life, and they’ve always been our rocks. It’s just heartbreaking,” Laci Fleming, Bob and Loveda’s granddaughter, previously told Fox Nebraska.
