Amber Alert Issued for Two Young Boys in Saratoga Springs

Authorities identified the children's father as the suspect and said his recent depression and financial troubles heighten concern for their safety.

Overview

  • Saratoga Springs police have an active AMBER Alert seeking infant Wesley Dane Richman and 1-year-old Will Thomas Richman after authorities say a family member took the boys.
  • The suspect is named as Dane Stephen Richman and is described as about 6-foot-2 and 195 pounds with brown hair and green eyes.
  • Investigators say the suspect may be driving a black 2025 Toyota Camry with Utah plate A561HL and warned the plate could be temporary or not visible, which makes sightings harder to verify automatically.
  • Police flagged several risk factors that increase concern for the children, saying the suspect has been seriously depressed, sold off possessions, faced financial stress, and abandoned his home; officials also noted he missed a scheduled custody exchange.
  • Authorities urge anyone with information to call Saratoga Springs Police at 801-798-5600 or dial 911 immediately and remind the public that AMBER Alerts are used to enlist quick public help in urgent child-abduction cases.
