Hopefully, their not being found with the parents is an indication they were taken alive.

That is what the police think. Since all 3 other family members were so brutally bludgeon to death - bound (they are not releasing how they were bound) and no blood of the children was found at the residence, they feel they were taken alive. But it is like they have fallen into a deep black abyss.
