11-Year-Old Girl Found Safe in Wisconsin Following Kidnapping

Dodgeville, Wisconsin – In a heartening turn of events, an 11-year-old girl who had been abducted from Indiana was discovered safe in southwestern Wisconsin. The Iowa County Sheriff’s Office played a pivotal role in the rescue operation, demonstrating the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies working collaboratively to ensure the safety of a child in distress.

According to Iowa County Sheriff Michael Peterson, the events unfolded on a Saturday when their communications center received crucial information. A vehicle at a Kwik Trip in Barneveld, Wisconsin, was identified as being involved in a Silver Alert originating from Indiana. The alert indicated that an 11-year-old female had been kidnapped from Wells County, Indiana, and her life was in extreme danger, necessitating immediate medical assistance.

Complicating the situation, it was reported that the individuals in the vehicle were potentially armed, raising the stakes for law enforcement. In response, deputies from the Iowa County Sheriff’s Office set out to intercept the vehicle, which was later spotted in the Township of Dodgeville on USH 18/151.

The City of Dodgeville Police Department joined the effort, and both agencies swiftly coordinated a traffic stop on the vehicle. Their coordinated efforts bore fruit as they successfully removed the 11-year-old girl from the custody of her alleged abductors.

The law enforcement operation led to the apprehension of three adults who were identified as suspects in the kidnapping case. The individuals taken into custody were named as Zachary Delozier, a 27-year-old from Edgemont, South Dakota; Sara Gaudino, a 23-year-old also from Rapid City, South Dakota; and Isaiah Schryvers, a 24-year-old from the same location. All three individuals were found to have warrants related to the kidnapping of a minor.

Following the successful rescue and detainment of the suspects, the Iowa County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with the Wisconsin Department of Justice DCI Agents, initiated an investigation into the incident. This joint effort aims to uncover further details surrounding the abduction and ensure that justice is served.

Sheriff Michael Peterson expressed his gratitude to the involved agencies, stating in a news release, “As Iowa County Sheriff, I cannot thank everyone enough. Being out there with this great group of professionals, watching all these agencies come together, taking these three adults into custody quickly, and removing this 11-year-old female from this situation so she can return to her family is an amazing feeling. Thank you for making a difference in our communities.”

This successful rescue operation highlights the importance of timely and coordinated responses from law enforcement agencies when a child’s life is at risk. The dedication and swift action of these professionals ensured that this young girl was safely reunited with her family, bringing a ray of hope in the face of adversity.
