The Tennessee native has been city administrator in Blair for 10 years. Before coming to Blair, the 52-year-old Bullock served four years as city clerk in Chadron. He retired from the U.S. Air Force in 1974 after 20 years of service.

Well miss Blair because it has been our home for the past 10 years," he said. I have a lot of love and respect for this community. Bullock said that Blair has made great strides during his tenure. We've done so many good things. One of the funnest accomplishments was organizing the city as a team.

I like to think that I played a role in that, said Bullock. Bullock also pointed to other achievements, such as the number of block, outdoor recreation and community development grants obtained for the city, street paving and housing rehabilitation projects. A very significant thing for the city of Blair was a four-year study we did on whether to sell the citys electrical plant equipment," Bullock said. In 1984 Blair sold its power plant and equipment to the Omaha Public Power District. The city still handles water and sewer services.

During its meeting Tuesday, the Blair City Council formed a committee to begin searching lor Bullocks replacement. Bullock resignation is effective May 12 In December 1986, a farmer near Walthill found the naked body of Anna Anton in a field. Anton, 34, had been shot three times. Greg Webb, who was Lyons police chief at the time, was charged with first-degree murder in the case, but he disappeared. Webb had been Lyons police chief for nine years.

He lived in the apartment above Anton in a faded pink two-story house. Anton had only lived in Lyons, a Burt County town of 1,200, for four months. Although police found no sign of struggle in either apartment, the state crime lab found microscopic traces of blood in both apartments and in the hallway. Webb was last seen Dec. 30, 1986, in Lyons talking to Mayor Mary Piper.

The day before he traded cars in Fremont and inquired about travel to South American countries and whether a traveler could carry a gun. He also withdrew his savings from a bank. BY SARA B. HANSEN Staff Writer LYONS Fans of solving mysteries can turn their attention to their own backyards later this year when an Unsolved Mysteries film crew arrives in Lyons. Stuart Schwartz, coordinating producer with Cosgrove-Muerer Productions in Los Angeles, told the Fremont Tribune the company plans to film an episode on the 1986 Anna Anton murder and subsequent disappearance of Greg Webb, who was charged with Antons murder.

Unsolved Mysteries is a weekly NBC television show that explores mysteries, including embezzlements, homicides and others. In August, Cosgrove-Muerer filmed an episode of the show in the Fremont area that explored the life of Walter Curley Green, who died in Omaha in 1978 leaving a $200,000 estate and no will. The shows goal was to help find an heir. None has been found yet. Schwartz said filming on the Lyons mystery may begin as early as the end of April, but a shooting date has not been set.

The television show will explore the murder and also try to answer where Webb may be now.
