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.

From what I understand, several police departments keep their eyes on these sites, also.
Plese don't let this drop off, keep posting, so we know when they are found, Lord willing.
Thank you so much!!
Police cannot charge Clare with kidnapping until he is served the papers. He is listed as it, as an attempt to locate him. The children are listed as missing and endangered.
Just a few minutes ago she flagged me. She was coming home from school early, and she passed Clare's sister. In the back seat was Crystal, reaching out to her!!
The woman lied and stated it was another child, when police asked her.
Please PRAY! Tracy had heard that her former sister-in-law was planning a trip this weekend. So Tracy believes that the woman may try to get the children out of town and to Texas this weekend.
PLEASE PRAY that she will be stopped, and the children will be returned to Tracy. Thank you so much! "where 2 or more agree in prayer!" I will keep you posted.
Good. That means he's blind. He can't go far.
Prayers on the way.
Dohhhhh! Make that Small Justice.
What, kidnapping isn't illegal in Colorado? Figures. From the state that couldn't even find JonBenet's killer.
Tracy just received a call from the police a few moments ago. Clare had responded with his own petition, i believe she said. It was filed 10 hrs ago in Burlington, CO. By now he has had time to leave there, but his sister gave in to police and gave them the address of Clare's father, in Burlington! Maybe he is stupid enough to still be there.
will continue to update as news comes in.
I stand united with the two or three in HIS name. Thank you Jesus.
