The body of a missing man was found inside a Nebraska chimney last week — more than a month after mysterious screams for help were heard inside the building.
The victim was identified Wednesday as 29-year-old Zachariah Andrews, who had an arrest warrant issued against him more than two weeks after he vanished, police said.
Andrews’ body was recovered Oct. 19 when a maintenance worker was investigating a foul odor coming from the chimney of the apartment in Norfolk, a city 110 miles northwest of Omaha.
The employee discovered what appeared to be human shoes dangling from the shaft, police told the Norfolk Daily News.
Andrews was last seen alive on Sept. 15 but wasn’t reported missing for another 19 days.
The day after Andrews was last seen, Norfolk police received a call from a resident inside the apartment building claiming they heard mysterious screams.
“The resident reported that he heard a man yelling for help and that it appeared to be coming from the first floor,” police said in a statement.
By the time officers arrived, the strange screams had stopped.
