Authorities are investigating a death at a house in West Omaha near Elkhorn. Forensic investigators and the Douglas County Sheriff’s office have been investigating for several hours on Tuesday inside the house located on W Street.
According to Captain Eric Sellers from the Douglas County Sheriff's Department, Michael "Mickey" Sodoro is the victim of a suspected homicide. He is a realtor with N.P. Dodge and investigators believe he was showing the property where his body was discovered this morning. He was reported missing by family members last night.
Sodoro's vehicle was found at another location with the help of OnStar, Sellers said.
There is no suspect in custody and Sellers said that rumors of an arrest are not helpful to the on-going investigation. He also recommended that Omaha-area realtors show properties in pairs until more is known about this case.
The story is developing and we’ll keep you up-to-date as we learn more.
