The Nebraska State Patrol and the Cherry County Sheriff's Office are searching for a woman thought to be involved in a vague "incident" that happened early Tuesday morning in Kilgore.Â
Ruth Wittmuss, 52, was last seen in Cherry County, according to a news release from the state patrol. Authorities had been seeking Kevin Kilmer, 25, but found him shortly after publicly announcing their search Tuesday afternoon, according to the release.Â
The nature of the incident in question is unclear, as is the pair's alleged involvement. The sheriff's office directed questions to Cherry County Attorney Eric Scott, who did not immediately respond to a requests for comment.Â
Wittmuss — 5-foot-1, 130-pound — has black hair and blue eyes.Â
Kilgore, a town of fewer than 100 people, is about 5 miles south of the Nebraska-South Dakota border in the expansive Cherry County and 22 miles west of Valentine.
