Investigators say they “believe” the deceased person found last week in rural Box Butte County matches the identity of missing 32-year-old Ebram Sifuentes of Alliance.
Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) says an autopsy was conducted on Monday, but additional testing is being done “to provide 100% confirmation.”
Sifuentes had been reported missing on September 9 and was the subject of a missing person investigation. He had reportedly last been seen on August 27. At this time, investigators believe Sifuentes was the victim of a homicide.
On Sept. 12, days after Sifuentes was reported missing, NSP arrested 26-year-old Tamara Bingham of Alliance, for first degree murder, and 36-year-old Matthew Landreth of Alliance, as an accessory to a felony.
NSP says the investigation remains ongoing.
The investigation has been assisted by the Box Butte County Sheriff’s Office, Alliance Police Department, Sheridan County Sheriff’s Office, WING Task Force, the Sheridan and Box Butte County Attorneys, and the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office.
