OWENSBORO, KY (AP)- A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by the mother of a young woman whose kidnapping more than 17 years ago remains unsolved.

U.S. District Judge Thomas B. Russell ruled that Sarah Teague of Madisonville brought her case to court too late to be prosecuted and that the allegations lack merit.

Teague sued members of the FBI, Kentucky State Police, the Henderson Police Department and others in February alleging a cover-up.

Two area troopers earned honors at a statewide gathering.

Trooper James T. Gaither of Lewisport was presented with Post 16’s Trooper of the Year.  During the calendar year of 2012, Trooper Gaither issued 1,444 citations, arrested 74 impaired drivers, investigated 25 criminal cases and made 173 criminal arrests.  Trooper Gaither has been a trooper with the Kentucky State Police for 2 ½ years.
