A Texas City man, William Taylor Glines, is facing multiple charges in connection with the disappearance of a 15-year-old Utah girl, according to law enforcement officials.
Glines was named as the second suspect in the ongoing investigation into the teen’s case. Authorities said the girl was last seen on April 21, after leaving school and later making purchases at a South Jordan, Utah gas station. Surveillance then showed her boarding a train and reportedly asking strangers for help getting to Las Vegas, Nevada, where she intended to meet people she had connected with online.
While details remain limited, police previously identified Matthew Nicholas Menard of Florida as another suspect. He has been charged with:
- Aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor
- Enticement of a minor
- Criminal solicitation
Glines now faces several charges as well, including:
- Aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor
- Attempted aggravated exploitation of a minor
- Sexual exploitation of a minor
- Enticement of a minor
- Criminal solicitation
The South Jordan Police Department said it is continuing to coordinate with authorities in Florida and Texas to pursue additional legal action. Officials also confirmed they are actively working to locate the missing teen and pursue all available leads.
