CREIGHTON, Neb. (KTIV) - Ten days ago a Northeast Nebraska family vanished, Monday night relatives and authorities are asking for your help to find them.
Knox County has recently issued a missing persons alert for Matt Schade, his wife Rowena and their two children.
The family was last seen by Matt's father, on March 20th.
"We were contacted by family members who were worried because they hadn't had any contact with them in a couple of days," explained Knox County Sheriff Jim Janecek.
The family left their home in Creighton, Nebraska in a black Ford Taurus under what the sheriff says is allegations of possible family violence.
"We had had a report of family violence, and that is why we started the investigation. At the time the Deputy returned on the 20th, we had no grounds at that time to continue the investigation," Janecek said.
Two days later, when the family couldn't be located, the Knox County Sheriff started an investigation into their disapperance.
"We would just like to find out that they are all right and the family is tremendously worried," said Janecek.
KTIV did speak to Chet Schade, Matt's father and he said, off camera, that he hopes to see his son and his family back as soon as possible, safe and sound.
The license plate number 12-G997. If you have any information on the whereabouts of the Schade family, contact the Knox County Sheriff at (402) 288-4261.
