CHEYENNE, Wyoming, Dec. 2, 2025 (Gephardt Daily) — A Wisconsin teen is safe after Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers tracked down her alleged kidnappers.
On Saturday, “troopers responded to a Be On The Lookout (BOLO) alert for a missing female minor,” a statement from the Wyoming Highway Patrol says.
“She was allegedly traveling with a 20-year-old male wanted on drug charges out of Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
“Using cell phone pings, troopers were able to determine the suspected vehicle was traveling westbound on I-80 between Laramie and Rawlins. A trooper stopped the vehicle after spotting it just outside of Sinclair, and identified the missing girl.
“She was found to be with two people who claimed they were hired to transport her to Utah.”
The men were taken into custody and charged with kidnapping and interference with parental custody, the statement says.
“I am proud of the work and cooperation between the troopers and our dispatchers who went above and beyond to locate this girl and get her home safe,” Cpt. Mike Simmons, WHP District 1.
“Two alleged kidnappers are in custody and a girl is home with her parents thanks to incredible teamwork of all involved.”
