Special thanks to the citizens of Alliance who aided in the search, the businesses that helped comb through security footage, and our brothers and sisters with the Nebraska State Patrol and the Box Butte County Sheriff's Office.

Thanks to the NSP Airwing for coming out and assisting. Thanks to the NSP Drone Operators helping us cover large amounts of ground during the day and nighttime. We also extend our gratitude to our dispatchers and officers who put in all of their hard work in the past 48 hours to ensure a successful recovery.

Special shoutout to #483 Trooper Garfio for checking the area surrounding Alliance and discovering our missing person. We love you buddy!
