Miracle: Kansas Trooper Rescues Kidnapped 6-Year-Old Girl
A Kansas State Highway Patrol trooper is being hailed as a hero after rescuing a kidnapped 6-year-old girl during a traffic stop in February.
Authorities say the trooper pulled over an SUV for a routine traffic violation when he noticed something suspicious going on inside the vehicle. A front-seat passenger had an active arrest warrant from another state for kidnapping a young girl just over a month earlier.

“This 6-year-old girl gave the trooper a false name and date of birth, after having been coached to do so, in an attempt to keep the adult out of jail,” the agency said. “Ultimately, our trooper calmed the girl down and got her to tell him her real name.”
Inside the vehicle, the trooper also saw a 6-year-old girl in the backseat, along with two men in their 60s. The driver had a long criminal history, including a homicide conviction and multiple weapons violations.
With the help of a deputy, the trooper secured the two men and safely removed the child from the vehicle. Initially, the girl gave a false name, as she had been coached by her captors. But the trooper’s persistence helped her reveal her true identity—confirming she was the kidnapping victim authorities had been searching for.
After spending more than a month on the run with her captor, the girl was found unharmed, and both suspects were taken into custody.
This incredible rescue highlights the vital role law enforcement plays in protecting the innocent and keeping criminals off the streets.
