Wyoming Missing Persons Website To See Changes Starting On Monday

The Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation has announced changes to its ''Wyoming Missing Persons" website designed to make the site more user-friendly.

The changes will take place on Monday, Oct. 2. According to a news release from the agency:

''The enhanced web platform facilitates publicly sharing missing person records upon database entry, detailed views, filter capabilities, and a missing person flyer page. Now, as information is entered into the DCI database, the public will immediately be able to view the missing person data.

Additional information about the missing person will be available, including an algorithmic current age and days missing calculator. Users will now be able to filter data to find information more pertinent to their inquiry and the new web page will have a flyer view, allowing users to download and print a missing person bulletin."

At the last report, the website had 86 people listed as missing in Wyoming. Those ranged from people reported missing this month all the way back to cases from the early 1980s.

People can report tips on Wyoming missing persons here. The website was launched in September 2021.

2022's Deadliest Wyoming County by Traffic Deaths

While car crashes can occur anywhere, some roads in Wyoming are more dangerous than others.

According to Wyoming Highway Patrol data, there were 117 fatal crashes in the Cowboy State in 2022 resulting in 133 deaths.

Of those fatal crashes, the majority (13.68%) occurred in Laramie County -- two in January, one in February, one in March, two in April, one in June, two in July, three in August, two in September, one in November, and one in December.

Sweetwater County saw the second most fatal crashes last year, 12, while Fremont and Lincoln counties each saw 10.

Albany and Park counties each recorded eight, and Campbell, Converse, and Natrona counties each tallied seven.

The deadliest 2022 crash in Laramie County took place on June 17 when two semis collided on Interstate 80 east of Cheyenne and immediately became engulfed in flames killing both drivers and a passenger.

Laramie County also saw two fatal crashes involving motorcyclists, two fatal crashes involving juveniles, and a fatal crash involving a pedestrian last year.

Below is the Wyoming Highway Patrol narrative of every fatal crash that occurred in Laramie County in 2022.
