COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho -- An Amber Alert has been issued by the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho Police Department requesting the assistance in locating two missing children.
The two children are:
KREM
Tatiana Exavier Seiber, four-year-old female, born June 6, 2000. Last seen wearing a purple tank top and blue denim cut-offs and is approximately two-foot, six inches tall and weighs 35 pounds with blond short hair and blue eyes.
KREM
Ford Patrick Ware, five-year-old male, born March 4,1999. Last seen wearing a black shirt with a yellow number "9" on it and unknown color shorts. He is approximately four-foot tall and weighs 50 pounds. He has blonde hair cut in a buzz cut above his eyes.
Both children were taken Thursday by a male identifying himself as "Jack" in a gold Lincoln Town car with Louisiana license plate JFP027. The vehicle is reported stolen out of Louisiana by a John Marc Thompson, 56-year-old white male, approximately 60-years-old and weighs 155 pounds. John Thompson is known to use the alias "Jack." Additionally, the vehicle has a Disney license plate in front and a rear left taillight out covered with tape. The Lincoln also has a moon roof.
The children were in the car with the suspect with the parent's permission. The suspect had befriended them while camping and identified himself as a preacher. They were all traveling to the Priest Lake area when the suspect's car did not exit Interstate 90 with the others in Coeur d'Alene and is believed to have continued east bound with the children.
If you see the children, the suspect or the car, please call 9-1-1.
I sure hope they find these kids very soon. This is likely to be a terrible ending with the kids soon murdered --- how can parents let such small kids be taken by a stranger?
I sure hope the Children are okay, and pray they will be returned safely.
Thank you for the ping Trussell. We are and hour away from Montana I think so I suspect they may be there too. Louisana is a long ways away. So that would make his car stand out more.
I was just speaking with my mom and we were talking about the shows she took us to when we were kids like Disney's
"Old Yellar" or Pollyanna or The Swiss Family Robinson"
movies that were about family, respect. love and a sense of fullfillment we have none of that anymore sometimes if I dwell on that fact I really become stressed out,,,,
But none of that helps get the kids back safely only letting people know and praying. That is the focus here.
Thank you for that suggestion. It is so hard when you have to suspect everyone - but when it comes to your kids it is getting that way.
I know movies today make parents and teacher look like dopes or worse and the kids are all powerful. No respect what so ever. I loved those movies, you never had to worry. I think Walt Disney would turn over in his grave if he saw what his company puts out now.
I was trying to explain to my daughter the other day why I don't let her have personalized items -- backpack, purse, etc., things with her whole first name. Gave her a scenario of sitting somewhere with her friends and some guy sees her name and says hello using her name, and saying "don't you remember me, I know your parents, my feelings are hurt that you don't remember me, by the way I saw your parents over there, I'll walk you over to them, yada yada." Her eyes got kinda big and I think she got it.
I agree, thank you for your prayers!
You know the private school my granddaughter goes to has their last names on the back of their sweatshirts. I think I will bring that up.
I used to be trusting, but not anymore and haven't been for a long time.
Oh, dear. My prayers for their safe return!
I-90 east goes through Montana and then to Wyoming!
It's been over 24 hours, they could of easily made it to Wyoming by now. If they didn't hold up somewhere. Alot of empty space between Coeur d'Alene and Wyoming.
Thank you for your Prayers. Well I need to get to bed. I will check back on this when I get up. Please keep pinging to the top so people can see and hopefully help find these little ones. 4 & 5 makes my heart sick.
Hubby is in route tonight from Billings back to Missoula. Called him with the info and told him to be on the lookout.
Bingo. This country [as a whole] is reaping what it has sewn.
Prayers for these children, and a long and painful death for that POS that took them...
Someday the child butchering mothers and doctors will have their eyes opened to their crimes, and it won't be pretty.
Thank you for that info landerwy, I have to admit that I don't know much about that area...
I mentioned Louisanna because the car had Louisanna plates. It is, of course, a good idea for FReepers everywhere to be alert for these children.
I pray they are found very soon! I pray they are still alive and have not been harmed!
And if he turned off on I-15 he could be in southern Idaho or Utah. I-94 goes through eastern Montana into Noth Dakota. Lots of empty space there!
