GERING - Family and friends of Chance Engelbert, the Moorcroft, Wyo, and Edgemont native last seen in Gering a year ago, marked the anniversary of his disappearance Monday with a walk and vigil.

      Rock Church Pastor Tyson Lambertson led a prayer vigil at Terry's Lake after the walk began at 7 p.m. at Paul Reed Construction in Gering.

      Organizer Monica Ream said the walk and vigil was intended to remind the broad community that Engelbert is still missing and to support for his family, who held a similar event around the same time in South Dakota.

       Ream has volunteered several hours and miles searching for Engelbert. She says says they search whenever they can get a few people together to go look and that Matt Miller, Chance's best friend in the Moorcroft area, has brought down several big search teams during that same period. Ream says these efforts will continue.
