In Chapter 2/Season 2 of Keeping the Light On, we step away from the mystery and focus on the life of Chance Englebert. Chance was more than a missing person — he was a devoted husband, a loving father, a son, a friend, and a young man with a bright future. In this episode, we honor his story, his work ethic, his love for the outdoors, and the laughter he brought to everyone who knew him. This chapter is a reminder of why Chance's disappearance in Gering, Nebraska, on July 6, 2019, still matters today. Chance Englebert's name is not just tied to a case — it's tied to a life that deserves to be remembered, and a family still searching for answers.   Chance's Rodeo Win Interview:  https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BChcNbThG/?mibextid=wwXIfr KTLO Podcast Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BE6AQUFsM/?mibextid=wwXIfr Help Find Chance Englebert Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/share/14QvNFqfsYM/?mibextid=wwXIfr Bernie's Books:  https://a.co/d/3jytym8   Please like, share with friends and subcribe or follow wherever you love to listen to podcasts.  Tips about Chance's disappearance may be sent directly to the Gering Police Department 308-436-5089   If you would like to talk to me about this case or have suggestions for future cases email me at  [email protected]   #chanceenglebert #helpfindchanceenglebert #keepingthelighton #lightkeepers
