Details emerge in death of Guernsey man

Posted

FORT LARAMIE – Retaliation over the alleged theft of a truck title may have led to the death of a Guernsey man here last week.

Jamie Snyder, 26, of Fort Laramie remains in the Goshen County Jail, held without bail on charges of first degree murder, in connection with the death of Wade Erschabek, 32, of Guernsey. Snyder was remanded to the custody of the Goshen County Sheriff’s Detention Department following his first appearance Friday before Eighth Circuit Court Judge Randal Arp.

According to an Affidavit of Probable Cause filed by Goshen County Sheriff’s investigator Kory Fleenor, Snyder, 26, allegedly pursued, confronted and stabbed Erschabek, 32, on Thursday outside a residence at 502 N. Miles in Fort Laramie. According to the affidavit, unidentified person or persons had broken in to Snyder’s residence, broke into a lock box and stolen the title for a 2001 black Chevrolet Silverado pickup registered to Snyder.

The affidavit further claims Snyder was later told it was Erschabek who stole the title.
