Lancaster County Attorney Joe Kelly has hired former Lincoln Police Sgt. Greg Sorensen to be his office’s first-ever special investigator.
The former detective sergeant retired in 2014 after serving 41 years.
During his career, Sorensen oversaw many of the department’s murder investigations and was involved in some of the city’s highest-profile cases, including the murder of Candi Harms and the disappearance of Regina Bos.
Kelly told the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners earlier this month a temporary investigator was needed to work on a big criminal case involving reports from multiple agencies and background work.
The Journal Star has confirmed Sorensen will be investigating the disappearance and death of 24-year-old Sydney Loofe of Lincoln, a case that involves multiple agencies.

In his new role, Sorensen will be responsible for finding and interviewing witnesses, gathering evidence and possibly serving subpoenas, Kelly said.
The position would expire in a year and would cost the county up to $70,872, Kelly said.
