“We are very grateful for the many tips we received, the shares on social media, and the assistance from the public to help us locate Montana. We are proud of the efforts of the many members of the Pasco Sheriff’s Office who worked throughout the night to make sure Montana was safe,” said Nocco.
At this time, there remains an active investigation into this case, the Pasco Sheriff’s Office has multiple individuals in custody, the two men in the previously released surveillance footage from the New Port Richey 7-11 and the adult with whom Montana was located.
