A Kansas state trooper rescued a 6-year-old girl who had been kidnapped and missing for over a month during what started as a routine traffic stop.
How often we talk about God working in mysterious ways? This story proves it. When that trooper pulled someone over for a simple traffic violation, he had no idea he was about to change a little girl’s life forever.
Isn’t it amazing how God puts the right people in exactly the right place when they’re needed most?
The Kansas Highway Patrol reported that the trooper pulled over an SUV for a simple traffic violation. During the stop, the officer discovered something alarming.
The front seat passenger had an outstanding warrant for kidnapping a young girl from another state. The driver also had a troubling criminal record that included homicide and weapons violations.
The trooper noticed a young girl in the vehicle who matched the age of the kidnapping victim.
When asked, she gave a false name and birthdate. The suspects had coached her to lie to protect them from the police.
The trooper stayed calm and patient with the frightened child. He gradually built her trust.
“After the trooper and a deputy from a local sheriff’s office quickly secured both the driver and passenger, the trooper safely removed the little girl from the vehicle,” the Kansas Highway Patrol wrote on Facebook.
Eventually, the girl told the trooper her real name. This confirmed she was the kidnapping victim who had been missing for more than a month.
Police took both men, reportedly in their 60s, into custody.
Officials expressed relief that the child was found unharmed despite her month-long ordeal. The trooper’s keen instincts and patience led to her safe return to her family.
God places people in positions where they can help others at just the right moment. The trooper’s training and care turned what could have been a simple citation into freedom for a captive child.
May we remain alert to ways we can help protect the vulnerable people around us. Our actions might become someone’s answered prayer.
Please keep this young girl in your prayers as she heals and recovers from this ordeal.
