On Sept. 16, 2025, at approximately 6:30 a.m., the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) received a report of a missing juvenile female from a residence in Silver Springs, Nevada. Deputies from the Central Command Patrol Division immediately initiated an investigation, entered the juvenile into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) as a runaway/missing person, and requested the assistance of the LCSO Investigations Division, Major Crimes Unit.
Through the course of the investigation, deputies and investigators identified 31-year-old Gordon Alexander Bayne of Silver Springs as a person of interest. Further investigative efforts determined that Bayne had transported the juvenile to Reno, Nevada, with knowledge of her intention to travel out of state.
At approximately 9 a.m., the Sacramento Police Department located and safely recovered the juvenile at a Greyhound bus station in Sacramento, California. The juvenile was later released to her parents.
During a subsequent traffic stop in Silver Springs, deputies made contact with Bayne. Initially, he denied involvement; however, investigators later confirmed his role in transporting the juvenile and learned he had attempted to dissuade another juvenile witness from cooperating with law enforcement.
