Trio arrested for abducting 11-year-old Indiana girl found 350 miles away

Two men and a woman from South Dakota were arrested in Wisconsin Sunday after allegedly abducting an 11-year-old girl in Indiana the night before.

The victim was “safely” taken into the custody of authorities after she traveled some 350 miles with her alleged captors, who were reported to have been “possibly armed,” officials said.

Zachary Delozier, 27, Sara Gaudino, 23, and Isaiah Schryvers, 24 were apprehended in the town of Dodgeville after a silver alert was issued. They were all charged with kidnapping a minor, according to the Iowa County Sheriff’s Office.

A multi-state manhunt began after Wells County, Indiana officials issued a silver alert saying the missing girl had been picked up in a “white Dodge caravan” from a trailer park in Zanesville, outside Fort Wayne, at 3:30 p.m.

Dozens of Hoosier State agencies mobilized to search for the girl, deploying helicopters and drones, according to WPTA-TV.

The suspects eluded capture in Indiana and passed through Illinois before they were spotted by authorities at a gas station in Barneveld, Wisc.. They were pulled over a short time later and the girl was “safely removed,” according to officials.

Police departments in Dodgeville and Mineral Point, Wisconsin Department of Justice officials and Iowa County social service and highway departments were involved in the arrest and investigation, Sheriff Michael Peterson said.

“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,” Peterson wrote in a press release.

“Thank you for making a difference in our community.”

The relationship between the suspects and their victims was unclear, and the girl does not share a last name with any of the alleged abductors.
