How they died

No

A Carter Lake officer tried to stop Chance Fletcher, who was driving an allegedly stolen car. A high-speed chase ensued. According to police, Fletcher wrecked the car near the I-480 bridge in Council Bluffs and fled on foot. Officers from Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County and Omaha reportedly searched the area for Fletcher without success. That evening was the last time Fletcher was seen or heard from alive. On October 11, 2013, the Omaha PD's Missing Person's Unit coordinated a search of the area with Council Bluffs police as part of a cold case investigation. Officers discovered Fletcher's skeletal remains in a drainage ditch on the south side of the I-480 bridge, adjacent to where he was last seen running nearly two years earlier.
