Authorities in Pottawattamie County say they are looking for two men who are wanted on kidnapping charges. The Pott. County Sheriff’s Office says 29-year old Tabitha Proplesch, of Council Bluffs, was found inside her pickup truck near the Crescent exit on I-29. Sheriff Jeff Danker says when deputies found her, she was restrained by handcuffs and severely beaten.  

Troopers from the Iowa State Patrol and deputies from the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Department found Proplesch around 2:30pm Thursday.

Through the investigation with the Department of Criminal Investigation, 38 year old Brian Bey of Crescent and 32 year old Travis Labno of Omaha have been charged with 1^st degree kidnapping.
