Council Bluffs Police say around 12:30 Saturday afternoon, an officer stopped a gray Toyota Van with New York license plates that was going 94 mph in a 65 mph zone on westbound I-80. Investigators say after the officer made contact with the van's occupants, it was found that the driver was a missing 14 year old boy out of New York. Police say the boy's passenger, an 11 year old girl, was also reported missing out of New York.
