Overview
- Saratoga Springs police say Dane Stephen Richman failed to return his sons after a custody exchange and an AMBER Alert was issued for 22‑month‑old Will and 10‑month‑old Wesley.
- Investigators obtained a warrant charging Richman with two counts of third‑degree custodial interference and released his photo and a description of a black 2025 Toyota Camry with Utah plate A561HL.
- The boys were last seen when Richman picked them up from their mother in Shelton, Washington on May 16, and family members reported the father had sold belongings and abandoned his home.
- Police and federal partners are pursuing leads across state lines and, according to charging documents, say Richman’s phone and vehicle activity may have crossed into Mexico on May 19; those movements are being investigated by authorities.
- Family members have pleaded for public help and police urge anyone with information about the vehicle, plate or the children’s whereabouts to call Saratoga Springs police or dial 911 immediately.
