LINCOLN, Neb. — With heavy hearts, family, friends, and the Lincoln community are mourning the loss of 43-year-old Tracy Henman, whose life was tragically cut short on Thursday morning. Tracy was found inside a home near North 56th and Holdrege streets after officers responded to a welfare check around 8 a.m. what unfolded was heartbreaking, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
When officers entered the residence, they discovered Tracy with injuries to her neck, leaving loved ones devastated and searching for answers. Also found in the home was a 40-year-old Lincoln man who knew Tracy. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment. At this time, his name has not been released, and charges are still pending as investigators continue to gather facts and await the final autopsy results. Authorities emphasize that this appears to be an isolated situation, and there is no ongoing threat to the community.
The Lincoln Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Unit is working tirelessly to piece together the final moments leading up to Tracy’s passing, interviewing those who knew her and the man involved. While many details remain private, the focus for loved ones now is honoring Tracy’s memory and the remarkable person she was.
Tracy was more than a name in a headline — she was someone deeply loved. She was known for her caring heart, her laughter, and the way she brightened the lives of those around her. Her absence is felt deeply, leaving a silence where her warmth and presence once lived.
For those who knew her, Tracy was a daughter, a friend, perhaps a sister or coworker — a soul who touched others with kindness. Her life mattered. Her story mattered. And while her passing is under investigation, her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of the people she loved and those who loved her in return.
As the community grieves, authorities encourage anyone with information to come forward, helping ensure the truth is fully understood and justice is served.
May Tracy’s memory be a blessing.
