New York Post, Fox News and Daily Mail report that Kandice Gunter, 30, did not pick up her two children, aged nine and six, from a Boys & Girls Club in Casper, Wyoming, and was later reported missing. The outlets say Casper police report she was last seen on Thursday morning in Natrona County and that her phone last pinged near Highway 387 around 12:30 p.m. Friday. Her sister, Kayla Gunter, told Cowboy State Daily that the missed pickup was out of character. Gunter had moved from Nevada to Casper about a month earlier, the outlets say, and police said she was last known to be driving a gray 2016 GMC Canyon pickup.
