21-year old Liam Stec, and a 16-year old male, both from Omaha, have been arrested in connection with the death of a man from Council Bluffs. A warrant was issued for a third suspect, 20-year old Nicholas Haner, of Harlan. Haner’s location is unknown. Anyone with information on his location is urged to contact the  Council Bluffs Police Department at 328-STOP (7867) or call 9-1-1 if he is seen in public.

On January 24th, the deceased body of 38-year old Adam Angeroth of Council Bluffs was found inside his apartment.  His family had not heard from him for several days.  An autopsy confirmed evidence of foul play in Angeroth’s death, including blunt force trauma and knife wounds.

After conducting numerous interviews and examining physical evidence, detectives were able to obtain Murder 1st Degree warrants for three subjects, accusing them of participating in the killing of Angeroth.  The teenager’s name has not officially been released by law enforcement – his case will begin in Juvenile Court, when/if there is a determination to hear his case as an adult, in District Court, his identity will become public record.

The case still remains under investigation, as we have not ruled out the possibility that additional arrests may be forthcoming.  Anyone with information on this case is encouraged to contact CBPD detectives at 712-328-4728, or leave their information anonymously by calling 712-328-STOP (7867).
