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 think it is all unbelievable
I pray they find them ok too. Up in Idaho, or Eastern Washington, it wasn't all that long ago we didn't even lock our doors. We all make mistakes. This is a beaut, but it is done, now the important thing is to get the pictures out there for people to see. And to get that family and those kids back.
I can't believe something like this isn't on the national wires....
another thing....what about this rich underbelly of society that lives like this...running from campground to campground with young children, and then letting the children just get into cars with complete strangers......
They are covering well on NWCN that covers news in Idaho, Oregon and Washinton.
NWCN is covering it hourly.
Praying for the family. What is the reason this creep too off with these two babies, I wonder.
Plus he has 5 warrants out!
NWCN Is reporting that mand dad are very upset for trusting a man who befriended them claiming he was an ordained Pastor.
They are cooperating with authorities.
Thank GOD! they need to! It needs to be on the National News, many cars should be able to spot his vehicle by now...
He is driving a stolen carfrom Loisanna.
We can only speculate why he did this. None of the answers are good. I am glad NWCN is covering it, but I seriously doubt he is still in the Northwest. I am sure he has gotten as far away as possible before it got too hot.
I totally agree, the only thing I can think is for everyone to write and complain to the news networks. Maybe it hasn't gone national because they can't get the Amber Alert National. Who knows. I am very fearful for those two kids + the boys parents and the kids with them.
This is definately getting strange.... This family had just become homeless less than 3 weeks ago. I don't get why the parents haven't been heard from..
I stand corrected. I read the latest update and the parents did take off looking for their kids afer reporting the kidnapping to the police.
In the link below is a picture off the SOB. I have web.tv so do not have the ability to post all pics.
I know around our town there are some good hard working people but they be genetic pools have very low IQ's and not much comon sense but are good hard working all the same. I respect them opposed to lazy welfare recipients that play victem all the time.
There are sooo many Govt. programs for the homeless but some choose to be transients not good when raising youngins' in most situations.

Yes we have these pictures. The ones of the kids are on the original article and his picture is on both parts. Thank you. Looks like they have pretty well what is on the Coeur d'Alene Police Department Web Page. There are more pictures out their of the rest of the missing family. They were on KXLY today. I am hoping they will post them.
I don't know why it isn't headline news. It ought to be.
I have gotten in the habit of not watching news on weekends because FoxNews is all that I can tolerate and they don't close caption. I need to send an email...
one never knows about these things....
one thing I do know though...is that you need gas in your car to go anywhere....
This reminds me so much of a Robert Mitchum character in a movie made about 48 years ago. It was called "The Night Of The Hunter". RM played a bogus preacher-man named "Harry Powell". Like I said, he was a bogus preacher, a crook, and possible sex offender, who escaped from prison. He hooked up with a widowed mother with 2 small children. He killed the mother, after marrying her; then chased the children up a river and on land through several small towns. He had believed the money had been hidden in the little girl's doll.
It was creepy! He had found out through their dad, who was in prison with him; that he had hidden some money at his house, I believe. He killed the dad I think, and got out of prison to find the money. He appeared as clean and straight as could be, and fooled the mother, and the community! Has anyone seen that movie?
