Mom Urgently Seeks Help of U.S. Citizens
My husband took off with our kids on (11/08/01).
There was no warning, he acted fine that morning, telling me he would see me when I got home.
When I did get home, he and the children were gone.
I went to the court house the next day, filed for divorce, custody, and a restraining order.
I was granted temporary custody, and now the police are looking for him so they can get the kids back to me.
He can be abusive to the kids.
One is 6 years old and doesn't recognize him as an authority, when she does this he get very angry and hits her.
The other is 21 months old, and my husband likes to slap him on the back of his head when he does something he (my husband) doesn't like.
I am scared, it has already been several days, and I am worried that he may hurt them badly since I am not there to protect them.
He could be anywhere but it is possible that he went to Tucson Arizona to his ex brother-in-laws house. Other possibilities are Waco, Texas; Burlington, Colorado; Flagstaff, Arizona; Farmington, New Mexico; Roswell, New Mexico; or he may be here in the southwest corner of Colorado. I have given this information to the police and they say unless he does something illegal, they cannot stop him to get my children.
I feel helpless and need help. If you could tell your friends and family about this it would really help to get the word out so they can find my children.
Please, My husband is thin (135 pounds) and is 5 foot 11 inches tall. He wears cowboy boots and a cowboy hat with a flat brim. He drives an blue 1985 chevy 3/4 ton deisel with a white camper shell, no back window. Plate # 402DAG. 2 yellow strobe lights, and 2 CB whip antennas (CB handle "lil stinger"). A heavy metal grill guard and a welded on trailer hitch on the back.
My kids are both blonds with beautiful blue eyes. My son has very curly hair. He is chubby, and my daughter is very thin and petite. She has straight hair usually kept in a pony tail.
If anybody has new neighbors that fit this description, please call your local police, and tell them that you might have seen the missing kids from Cortez, CO. Or call Cortez, CO. Police Dept. (970) 565-8441.

Clare is said to frequent the Circle K stores.
Having come from an abusive marriage, and having 3 children of my own, I know how Tracy must feel. Every time my children have visitation I fight the fears this may happen to them.
OK, People!!! Let's do this thing! Pray for Tracy and the children....safety, protection, etc. Then get the word out, and keep your eyes peeled. We have seen the power of prayer often. Lift them up! Lift up Kelly and her family, as well, that they also be re-united!
If I can't get the pictures here, since I am so new at this....please go to the url and find pictures of the children, the man and the pick-up. Maybe someone more gifted can get those transferred here!! (please?)

Please SPREAD the word with any lists you may have! Thank you from me and Tracy!
Blessings!
< tear in eye >Will someone please post a story that doesn't depress me and make me think that I want to just be a single/conservative dude the rest of my life...
Been there, lived it myself, God Bless this Mom and bring her kids home to her safely.
But in the mean time, I'll pray for the children's safe return to their mother. I'm praying that everything will be alright, but try calling America's Most Wanted, see if they could help.
The return of Heather and Dayna....and their co-workers! God is good!!! There is good news out there, and this one, God willing, will end the same!
