Today, the AWESOME is right here in Kansas. A routine traffic stop in Kansas turned into a life-saving rescue when a state trooper helped recover a kidnapped 6-year-old girl who had been missing for over a month. The Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper pulled over an SUV for a traffic violation. During the stop, the trooper discovered that the front-seat passenger had an outstanding warrant from another state for kidnapping the young girl. The driver, who also had a criminal history, including homicide and multiple weapons violations, was traveling with them. The trooper noticed a girl matching the victim’s age in the vehicle. At first, she gave a false name and birthdate, having been coached by the suspects, but eventually, he learned her real identity, confirming that she was the missing child. With assistance from a local sheriff’s deputy, both men were swiftly taken into custody, and the girl was safely removed from the vehicle. Miraculously, she was found unharmed. The Kansas Highway Patrol praised the trooper’s sharp instincts and compassion, highlighting the life-changing impact of rescuing the girl who is now safe and reunited with her loved ones, and THAT’S AWESOME.
