CHEYENNE, Wyo. — A Montana teen is home and safe after Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers, with the help of local law enforcement, apprehended the men transporting her across state lines.
On Nov. 22, the FBI was able to determine that two Oklahoma men who had previously picked up a teenage girl in Montana were traveling through Wyoming to get back to Oklahoma.
Troopers were alerted to the situation via a “be on the lookout” alert, and were informed the suspected vehicle was southbound on Interstate 25 and was last pinged near mile marker 135. A nearby trooper immediately spotted the suspected vehicle and, with assistance from the Converse County Sheriff’s Office, initiated a traffic stop.
The trooper spotted the missing girl in the vehicle, and, after taking charge of the investigation, arrested the two suspects.

The 15-year-old victim was cared for by the Wyoming Department of Family Services before being returned home to her parents in Montana.
The WHP reports that this is still an active investigation and has been handed over to the FBI.
