Hageman announced Tuesday that she's canceling in-person access to two of her upcoming town halls in Cheyenne and Torrington. Cowboy State Daily's Leo Wolfson reports that she will only host the events virtually because of, quote, "Democrat threats of violence." "This comes in response to some of the events that occurred and some of the very raucous behaviors she was greeted with at some of her two recent town halls, specifically in Rock Springs, Laramie and Wheatland. The Laramie one was a town hall held last week where she experienced a lot of very aggressive people in the audience screaming profanities at her and things of that nature. There wasn't any physical conversations or anything like that they're aware of, but it was kind of a very aggressive night, yet she stayed on the stage for more than an hour and dealt with it. But after that, there was a town hall held in Wheatland that was, for the most part, a pretty tame affair, but a woman who the Platte County Sheriff told me was about 60 to 70 years old tried approaching Hageman after the event, and was kind of approaching in a kind of somewhat aggressive manner." The woman never actually made physical contact with Hageman's staff, but police were forced to intervene to make sure that didn't happen. Hageman said her town halls will be conducted virtually until it seems safe to resume in-person events.

Cowboy State Daily's Jen Kocher reports that the then-28-year-old Worland woman has been missing since July 2023 after her vehicle was found stuck on a rugged, two-track road in rural Washakie County. "She was driving in the back country in Washakie County, and it appears that her car got… high centered. And she left the car and went off on foot. It's not clear if she was wearing shoes or barefoot, because they did find barefoot tracks around the car, and so who knows? You know, perhaps she went to get help, to try to get out of there. It's just not known at this point… I think the temperatures were in the low hundreds. It was quite hot, from what I understand. So she may have, you know, with the elements and with that type of terrain, so … I will be following up with the coroner to see what the cause of death is." Mitchell was identified through dental records her dentist had on file. She was one of 81 missing people in Wyoming dating back to 1974 who are listed on the Division of Criminal Investigation's missing person database. Read the full story
