Bingo Winner Lillian Meisenbach

Lillian M Meisenbach was born to James Pauel and Frances Hrdlicka in Wilber Salin, Nebraska. She had a sister Elsie Texel of Wahoo Nebraska who died in 1996. Lillian made numerous headlines when she went missing in 2000. See Beatrice woman is still missing, Police believe body found in ditch was Beatrice woman, and Woman died of gunshot to the head for a few of the more lengthy articles about her disappearance. It turned out that she was one of many soon-to-be victims in a series of Southeast Nebraska shootings. Her death was the first Beatrice homicide in eight years. There were five dead and two wounded in less than five months in Southeast Nebraska which killed a grandmother, a grandfather, mothers and fathers. One year later on February 8th 2001 the Fremont Tribune in Nebraska published a brief article saying that police still hoped to solve the (then) year-old killing. In 2002, the same paper ran a lengthier article saying that investigators were in "patient mode" having exhausted available leads. By this time investigators had interviewed over 400 people.
