On May 12, 2018 at approximately 2:01 p.m. officers from the Wyoming Department of Public Safety responded to a suspicious situation which occurred on the southeast corner of Chicago Drive and Wendler Avenue. A witness observed a female walking east on the sidewalk on the south side of Chicago Drive, when a white Ford pick-up pulled onto Wendler Avenue. A male exited the truck and appeared to have a brief conversation with the female. He then grabbed the female and compelled her to get into the passenger side of the truck. The truck left southbound on Wendler Avenue. The exact nature of this exchange, the relationship between the male and female, or the circumstances that may have led up to this event are not immediately evident.
The truck is a white mid-2000’s Ford F-150 crew cab with an open bed and no topper. It had tan or beige trim starting at the bottom of the doors and running approximately one-quarter of the way up the side of the truck. The truck has “step-ups” on the sides of each door to assist in entering the vehicle. The truck had stock rims and no other distinguishable characteristics.
The female was described as a black female in her teens to early 20s, approximately five feet five inches tall, with an average build. She was wearing blue jeans, a pink shirt, and possibly a jean jacket. She had a short ponytail.
The male was described as a black male in his 20s to 30s, tall, with an average build. He had dread locks pulled back onto the top of his head and part way down the back of his neck. He was wearing a red t-shirt, blue jeans, and white tennis shoes.
If anyone has any information regarding the identity of these subjects, the whereabouts of this truck, or can clarify the nature of this exchange they are asked to contact the Wyoming Department of Public Safety’s Investigative Division at 616-530-7335 or Silent Observer at 616-774-2345
