During the investigation it was learned that two individuals, both with outstanding warrants for their arrests had recently been in the area. With assistance from Wasilla Police Department a vehicle of interest was located leaving the area and ultimately contacted at the Fishook Food Mart near Wasilla Fishook and Seldon.
