According to reports, a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper rescued a 6-year-old girl who had been kidnapped more than a month earlier. The trooper stopped an SUV for a traffic violation and found the girl inside, along with two men in their 60s—one with a kidnapping warrant and the other with a criminal record that included homicide.
By the grace of God, both men were arrested, and the little girl was unharmed.

The trooper spotted a girl around that age inside the vehicle with the passenger and driver, both men in their 60s, highway patrol said. It was also discovered that the driver had a criminal history which included homicide and numerous weapons violations.
The trooper, with help from a local sheriff’s deputy, secured both men before safely removing the girl from the vehicle, highway patrol said.
“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,” the agency revealed. “Ultimately, our trooper calmed the girl down and got her to tell him her real name.”
The young girl has been identified as the kidnapping victim, according to authorities, and the men were arrested. The agency reported that this traffic stopped occurred in February.
