CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Two missing sisters from Mooresville have been found safe in Tennessee.
Officials said Keara and Siera Hess are being taken to a local hospital in Tennessee for examination.
The girls were found with their father, Matthew Hess. The three had been missing since last Wednesday.
Authorities issued an Amber Alert for the girls last night, because 12-year-old Keara is pregnant and in need of immediate medical care.
The Iredell County Sheriff's Office says Tennessee authorities contacted them this morning, saying they had found the family. Keara is still pregnant and will be treated by a physician in Tennessee, according to Iredell County officials.
The Amber Alert that was issued for the girls on Tuesday night has been canceled.
Matthew Hess is being held in custody by Tennessee authorities. Iredell County officials say they are asking the district attorney to file charges against Hess for not getting medical care for Keara.
Authorities have been searching for Matthew Hess and the two girls for a week. Hess wrote his estranged wife a note, saying that he was taking Sierra to Lakeshore Middle School last Thursday. The wife became suspicious when 12-year-old Keara didn't make it to her doctor's appointment.
Keara is 8 1/2 months pregnant and needs a medical procedure to protect her child.
“Did they contact Roman Polanski for comment?
Cheers! “
Brings to mind the joke about the newsie who asked President Clinton, “What about Ruwanda?”
The Presidential reply was a panic stricken, “I never met her, I was never in a hotel room with her, I don’t know anything about her.”
Uncanny resemblance.
