Teen's Dangerous Journey: Two Men Arrested in Cross-Country Kidnapping Plot
In a small town in Wisconsin, a 16-year-old girl's disappearance sparked a frantic search. Her family reported her missing after she vanished from her home in Two Rivers. Little did they know, she was already far away, being driven towards California by two men who had no legal right to be in the country.
The men, Alexcer Solis Gomez and Pedro Giron Perez, were stopped by police in Wyoming. Officers found the girl in their car during a routine traffic check. The men claimed they were paid by the girl's boyfriend to take her to California. But the truth was far more sinister.
Authorities tracked the girl's phone, which showed her moving along Interstate 80. This led them to the men, who were later confirmed to be in the country illegally. They are now facing serious charges in Wisconsin. Each man has a bail set at $500,000, showing just how serious the crimes are.
The men face charges of kidnapping, child enticement, and interference with custody. If found guilty, they could spend up to 15 years behind bars. The judge set a high bail, worried that the men might try to flee the country.
This case raises serious questions about border security and the safety of young people. It's a stark reminder that policies and laws need to be strong to protect everyone, especially the most vulnerable.
