Two Utah toddlers are missing and facing “imminent danger of serious bodily harm or death,” after their father allegedly failed to attend a custody exchange.
An AMBER Alert was issued for the two boys, Will Richman, 22 months and Wesley Richman, 10 months, in Saratoga Springs, Utah, on Saturday, May 16.
The AMBER Alert described their father, Dane Stephen Richman, as being “seriously depressed,” and under financial stress. The alert, issued by the Utah Department of Public Safety, said that he had been selling his possessions and had abandoned his home.
Richman has been identified as a suspect.
The children’s mother contacted the police to request a welfare check on Thursday, after Dane Richman missed a court-related deposition in an ongoing custody case, according to a report from KUTV.
The mother contacted police again on Saturday, after the children were supposed to be returned in a custody exchange, and no one showed up.
That call triggered the Amber Alert.
