The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office has issued a notice requesting help from the public to identify a vehicle that was in the Walmart parking lot at the time Naomi Irion was kidnapped.

The 4-door sedan enters the east Walmart parking lot at approximately 5:15 a.m. on the morning of March 12. It then drives around the median on the east side before parking at the southeast corner of the Walmart building. The vehicle is seen parked with its headlights on for a period of time and the suspect in this case is seen walking directly in front of this parked vehicle.

The sheriff’s Office also provided three images that show the vehicle and its parking location on the morning of March 12.

Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion.
