- Irene Gakwa disappeared from Wyoming in 2021
- Her fiancé told her family she'd packed her bags and left
- He has since admitted to draining her bank accounts after she disappeared
(
NewsNation) — There have been significant new developments in the search for a Wyoming woman who vanished after meeting her fiancé on Craigslist.
Video shows federal agents moving in on the man’s home, but while there is some movement in the case, Gakwa’s family is still desperate to know where she is.
When Gakwa moved from her birthplace in Kenya to Idaho, it seemed like a huge success. But when she met
Nathan Hightman on Craigslist, her family wasn’t sold.
”I will say the truth. I mean, I really like him. But you know, what do you do?” said Christopher Gakwa, Irene’s brother.
Irene Gakwa and Hightman moved to Gilette, Wyoming. Gakwa’s texts, once peppered with her native Swahili, turned to English only.
