Missing Utah Woman, Three Children Safe in Humboldt County

A missing and endangered Utah woman and her three children have been found safe in Humboldt County, authorities announced on Tuesday, August 20.

The woman, 27-year-old Brittany Etta Deal, and her children were seen last in St. George, Utah, on Monday, August 19, before reportedly being picked up by David Remley. There was a protective order in place that prohibited Remley from contacting Deal.

The circumstances raised concerns when Deal and her children went missing.

Around 3 a.m. on August 20, authorities issued an “endangered missing advisory” after a concerned family member or friend contacted the police. A welfare check at Deal’s residence showed no one was at home.

The search for Deal and her children came to a positive conclusion on Tuesday when they were located by troopers and detectives from the Nevada State Police, along with officers from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office and the Winnemucca Police Department. Remley was taken into custody following the discovery.

Further details about the incident and Remley’s charges have yet to be released.
