You have the approach sector covered, as that's covered by the OMA TRACON. They combined Omaha and Lincoln a few years ago, and are now based out of Offutt AFB. However, the RCAG from Kearney may have something, as it was also the low sector at the time they had descended.

Hmm.. I was thinking that they would be the center controller handling the area at least on the descent. The high sector would have caught the initial emergency, but nothing is covering that.. I was hoping that the low sector would have something..
