Candlelight Vigil Planned Sunday For Sydney Loofe

The Neligh community will host a candlelight vigil on Sunday night at the Neligh-Oakdale football field to pray for the safe return of Sydney Loofe.

The vigil will begin at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend and is asked to bring their own candles. Grace Lutheran Pastor David Kufahl will lead the prayer service. 

Sydney, the daughter of George and Susie Loofe of Neligh, has been missing since Wednesday after leaving for a date. She was last heard from on a SnapChat prior to the date. Sydney's vehicle is still at her home, and she did not go to work on Thursday. Neither friends nor family have heard from Sydney since.

George Loofe is the high school principal and assistant football coach at Neligh-Oakdale, and Susie Loofe is a teacher at the school and very involved in student and community activities.

A Lincoln Police Department (LPD) officer told Antelope County News that the search continues for Sydney, who is a 24-year-old, 5'7 female weighing about 130 pounds. She has blonde hair and blue eyes. Her last known location was near Wilbur, Nebraska.

If you have any information on her whereabouts, contact the Lincoln Police Department at 402-441-7204.
