Two Lakeville teenage sisters missing since April 2013 have been found at a horse farm in western Minnesota. Gianna Rucki, now 16, and Samantha Rucki, now 17, who ran away more than 31 months ago as family turmoil set in, were found Wednesday at the White Horse Ranch near Herman, about 40 miles west of Alexandria in Grant County. The Lakeville police said in a release late Wednesday afternoon that they executed a search warrant at the farm, which described itself as a place where abused children and horses can come together to heal. Both of the girls were found “safe and in seemingly good health” the release said. The founder and president of the ranch operation Gina Dahlen along with her husband Doug, were cooperative when law officers arrived. The sisters were returned to Dakota County where the “unification process” can begin. The police and the Dakota County Attorney’s Office asked for respect and privacy for the Rucki family during the reunification process. The department called the investigation into how the girls got to the farm very active and fluid. No one was taken into custody at the ranch.
