Authorities reported Saturday that a Kansas highway trooper had apprehended two males who were with a 6-year-old girl who had been missing for more than a month after she was abducted.
The front-seat passenger in the SUV had an arrest warrant from another state for the kidnapping of a 6-year-old girl little over a month prior, the Kansas Highway Patrol said, after the trooper pulled over the vehicle for a traffic infraction.
According to the highway patrol, the trooper saw a girl of that age inside the car with the driver and passenger, both of whom were in their 60s.
The driver’s criminal past was also found to include multiple weapons charges and homicide.

“This 6-year-old girl gave the trooper a false name and date of birth, after having been coached to do so, in an attempt to keep the adult out of jail,” according to the agency. “Ultimately, our trooper calmed the girl down and got her to tell him her real name.”
Authorities identified the girl as the kidnapping victim who had spent more than a month with the perpetrator who was on the run.
The agency reported that the two guys were arrested and that the girl was uninjured.
To preserve the child’s identity and the integrity of the ongoing case, they were unable to divulge any more details at this time.
