Amber Alert Canceled After Utah Boys Are Found in Mexico
Police said the father was charged with two counts of custodial interference after the boys were found with him and the investigation continued.
- An Amber Alert issued over the weekend for two Saratoga Springs children was canceled Tuesday evening after Wesley Dane Richman, 10 months, and Will Thomas Richman, 22 months, were safely located in San Felipe, Mexico, with their father Dane Stephen Richman now in custody.
- Richman quit his job at Fibertel LLC on May 11 and faced foreclosure with negative mortgage equity, while missing both a Friday deposition and Saturday custody exchange in an ongoing dispute over the children.
- The Amber Alert, issued Saturday at 11:30 p.m., described Wesley as weighing about 23 pounds and Will as weighing about 31 pounds, both with blonde or strawberry-blond hair and blue eyes. Officials believed Richman had been "seriously depressed, selling possessions, facing financial stress, and abandoned his home."
- Richman was charged Sunday in Utah's 4th District Court with two counts of custodial interference, a third-degree felony, after violating his custody agreement by failing to return the boys Saturday. The children were found safe.
- The Saratoga Springs Police Department conducted the investigation in close coordination with the FBI, Utah County Attorney's Office, and Utah Department of Public Safety, with the department extending special thanks to the FBI for its efforts.
