MULTI-AGENCY SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATION A SUCCESS IN FINDING A MISSING FEMALE

 On 11/11/24 at approximately 2pm Bates County Dispatch received a call in reference to a missing female from Miami County Kansas. The females vehicle was located in the trees east of County Road 12761 south of County Road 1002. This location is south of Amoret Missouri.
The female, a 47 year old from Kansas, was reportedly having a medical condition and was at risk. Deputies began to search the area and requested a drone operator respond to the area. The area is very rural and surrounded by heavy trees and crop land. Drone operators with Maple Ranch and the Sheriffs Office worked together to start covering the very large area.
Within an hour, the decision was made to call out every deputy and request assistance for manpower from other agencies. Over 25 deputies and command staff responded. Amoret Fire responded with personel and a UTV. Adrian Police Department sent personnel and 2 UTVs. The Bates County Sheriff's Posse responded with horses, ATVs and over 10 personnel. Request were also sent to Adrian Fire, Butler Fire and Rich Hill Fire. Butler Fire and Rich Hill Fire were diverted to an accident on I49.
At approximately 5:15pm search crews located the female subject. The female was transported by UTV to the command staging area where she was reunited with her husband and children. Bates County EMS was called to evaluate the female where she was determined to be stable enough to be transported for medical care by family.
We would like to Thank the Volunteers and First Responders who arrived to assist in the search. Many of the volunteers brought their own UTVs for the search. We would like to Thank those agencies who were en route to assist but were canceled before they arrived. This is the outcome we prayed for knowing we were losing daylight and the temps were dropping.
“It’s great to have a community willing to respond and help people they don’t even know. This is a perfect example of why we have many different tools available to complete the mission. Cases like this show you that ATVs, UTVs, Drones and Horses all have limitations but when used together they can have a positive outcome.” Says Sheriff Anderson.

Train/car collision near Amoret

 One man is fighting for his life after a pickup and train collided north of Amoret over the weekend.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol indicates that around 1:35 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 9, emergency crews were called to the area of NW 3002 Rd. and Route Y, about a mile north of Amoret, with reports of a train collision.

When first responders arrived, they said they found a 41-year-old Amoret man had been driving his 2001 Dodge Dakota west on the roadway as he came across a railroad crossing. However, a 2014 Electromotive Diesel locomotive conducted by a 37-year-old Pittsburg man had been making its way down the track.

State Troopers said the driver of the pickup failed to yield to the train and attempted to continue through the crossing but was struck. Both vehicles came to a complete stop about one mile south of the crash scene.

Emergency crews said the pickup’s driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt at the time, was taken to Overland Park Regional Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. The truck was totaled in the collision.

Law enforcement officials noted that the locomotive’s conductor was unharmed in the collision. No further information has been released.

More than 25 law enforcement officers breached three structures and two travel trailers simultaneously. Seven adults and three children were found in various areas of our search with one female resisting arrest. She was taken into custody with minor injuries.

This search warrant represents many months of investigation and hundreds of man hours which were rewarded with over a pound of methamphetamine, stolen firearms, 24 seized vehicles which included mostly motorcycles, poached white tail buck heads cut from the bodies of the animals and other illegal items.

Donald Schofield, Melinda Turner, Jacob Knapp, Kenneth Turner, Holly Boyer, and Kenneth Boyer Sr were all arrested and charged with drug and firearms offenses. Bonds ranged from $50,000 to $250,000.
