Default Justice for Gabe

Gabe worked here in Lincoln, Ne at the Harley dealership. On January 16th he was hit and dragged nearly 2 miles, needless to say he did not survive this ordeal. Last seen the pickup truck that they are looking for speed-off. This Road (West o St.) is close to the interstate so it could have been a local or he could have came from anywhere. Gabe was a very well liked person, he had one of those smiles that you don't see to often. There was a procession from the Harley dealership to the church last Friday, I was one of 431 bikes that showed up to ride in it. There is some video of it on YouTube look up Gabe Wilken procession. If every body could post this flyer on their face book page or where ever maybe we can find this son of a bitch that did this to him. Gabe was not married but did have a son about 16 yrs old. Please help us find this person. Gabe will be missed deeply.

Thank you

Posted to my FB. I hope the person who did this is caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Very sorry for the tragic loss of your friend.

RIP and prayers for Gabe and his family.

I'm sure this base has probably been covered, but I'd make sure every bodyshop/ paintshop within 100 miles has been notified. Low-life scum hopefully can't hide forever.

Seen this many times in the past. The vehicle will more than likely be hidden in a garage, or left under a cover, concealed in a parking lot. The turds are probably smart enough NOT to take it to a body shop.

As you people in the area drive around, if you see a pick up under a cover somewhere, be suspicious. There is a good chance it will be hidden in the open.

Hope they find this guy. Unfortunately, this hits very close to home as we had a similar situation here in S.E. Iowa almost three years ago....only he didn't get away.
