Two Utah children who were the subject of an AMBER Alert over the weekend have been found safe in Mexico, bringing an end to a cross-border search that involved multiple law enforcement agencies.

The 22-month-old Will Richman and 10-month-old Wesley Richman were located safely on the evening of May 26, 2026, in San Felipe, Mexico, following a coordinated effort involving the FBI, the Saratoga Springs Police Department, the Utah County Attorney’s Office, and the Utah Department of Public Safety.

The children's father, Dane Stephen Richman, 46, is currently in custody and has been charged with two counts of custodial interference in the 4th District Court.

The AMBER Alert has been lifted following the safe recovery of the children, but the investigation remains ongoing.
