On March 8, 2021 at about 9:30 am law enforcement in Richland County received information that Michael Cody Duane Webster, a 16-year-old male that had been reported to be a runaway from Cheyenne, Wyoming during the early morning hours on March 8, 2021. It was believed that he traveled to Richland County, Montana and may be in the area.  The 16-year-old Webster had lived in the Sidney area having both family and friends in the area.   He recently moved back to Wyoming to live with another family member.    He was driving a 2006 Green Chrysler Town & County Van with Montana plates 27-7173C.  Webster was not found in the area by law enforcement, but a short time later the Sidney Police Department received a report of a missing 16-year-old female by the name of Zariah Sunshine Gonsalez, who is a friend of the Michael Cody Webster.  Zariah is 5’10”, 200 lbs, last seen wearing blue jogging pants with a white stripe down the side, a navy-blue t-shirt and black long-sleeved shirt.  She has short black hair, a gold necklace, diamond stud earrings and nose piercing on the left side.  It believed that she is with Michael Cody Webster in the 2006 Green Chrysler van.  It is felt that that the two may have planned this because both had money withdrawn from the bank account prior to going missing.  Cell phone tracking was checked showing location in Richland County on the early morning hours of March 8, 2021 and around noon in the Mile City, Montana area.  The tracking by communication devices is not working at this time.    Both Webster and Gonsalez are listed as missing person in the National Crime Data base.  Gonsalez’s family report that she maybe trying to get to the Utah area where she has a friend that she communicates with or California where her father lives.  In checking with law enforcement in Utah, it was found that Zariah Gonsalez’s 17-year-old friend Angeline Vasquez is also missing now from her home in Clearfield, Utah.  It is now believed that that the three juveniles are traveling together.  It has been reported to Richland County Crimestoppers that local law enforcement does not believe that they area in our area.  Law enforcement do believe that Webster and Gonsalez are still communicating with friends in Sidney and Richland County and request if anyone has contact with either one to contact the Sidney Police Department right away.  It could be a crime to withhold information to law enforcement regarding the reported runaways.
