Wyoming troopers track down alleged kidnappers, rescue teen girl
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — A Wisconsin teen is safe after Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers tracked down her alleged kidnappers.
On Saturday, Nov. 29, troopers responded to a “be on the lookout” alert for a missing female minor. She was allegedly traveling with a 20-year old male wanted on drug charges out of Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
Using cellphone pings, troopers were able to determine the suspected vehicle was traveling west on Interstate 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 two men were taken into custody and charged with kidnapping and interference with parental custody.
“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,” said Captain Mike Simmons of WHP District 1. “Two alleged kidnappers are in custody and a girl is home with her parents thanks to incredible teamwork of all involved.”
There is an active investigation in relation to this case, and no further details will be released during the investigation.

If you’re one of those folks who love a good ol’ hot toddy, whiskey sour, or a bourbon-spiked hot chocolate, there’s a new bourbon from Wyoming Whiskey on the market you need to check out.

The straight bourbon was distilled, aged, and bottled right here in Wyoming, and is the fifth bottle released in the National Parks Series. Co-founder of Wyoming Whiskey, David DeFazio, explains the importance of the series not only to Wyoming Whiskey but also to the National Parks in Wyoming.
For those of you who’ve been following Wyoming Whiskey over the years, you’re aware of our ongoing commitment to the preservation of wide-open spaces. The cornerstone of our commitment is the support of our National Parks. Over the last four years, we have made donations to Yellowstone Forever, the Grand Teton National Park Foundation, and Friends of Acadia, the philanthropic partners of each Park. With National Parks No. 5, we feature Grand Teton with a historic image by Thomas Moran titled The Three Tetons. This straight bourbon whiskey is five years old, bottled at 96 proof, and I must say hitting all the right notes with the flavor profile.
In conjunction with this release, Wyoming Whiskey has donated $5 for every bottle, totaling $50,000, to the Grand Teton National Park Foundation in support of ongoing efforts to protect the Park, enhance visitor experiences, and ensure its resilience for generations to come.

This donation, in combination with the previous backing, has helped:
- Restore more than 10 miles of the Teton Crest Trail
- Enable 250+ volunteers to contribute over 17,000 hours toward resource stewardship and visitor education
- Engage 350+ Indigenous youth in the park, deepening connections to their ancestral lands
- Advance critical natural resource restoration and wildlife research projects that protect Grand Teton’s iconic landscapes, and much more.
Made with only locally sourced ingredients, National Parks No. 5 embodies a richness that is uniquely enhanced by the extreme weather the hand-selected whiskey barrels endure. This whiskey blends deep, dessert-like layers with a touch of rugged refinement, underscoring the spirit of adventure and natural beauty that Wyoming Whiskey and this series represent.
Bottled at 96 proof and aged for 5 years, the whiskey reveals notes of baked honey crullers, almond, and cherry liqueur, with a warm finish of cinnamon spice, espresso, milk chocolate, and leather.
