A Nebraska State Patrol official said a 19-year-old “did everything he could” to try to save his mother before she died of exposure in a snowstorm that pounded the Panhandle.
Capt. Mike Gaudreault, commander of the Scottsbluff troop, said Wednesday that Lisa Conrad's body was found about 5:40 p.m. MDT Tuesday by Box Butte County residents searching for her and her son, Brandon Conrad Jr., whom she had called from her stranded car.
The son was found by the searchers a short time later in an abandoned farmhouse. He was suffering from hypothermia and frostbite.
Brandon was taken to Box Butte General Hospital in Alliance, where a hospital spokeswoman said he was in fair condition.
