KREM 2 NEWS STAFF

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.

They are on America's Most Wanted http://www.amw.com/missing_children/brief.cfm?id=27767 I wonder if they will be on tonight. If anyone learns anything new can you post it please.

[missyme]

I am going to send CNN an email why they don't have this info posted on there site.

[Kackikat]

I will be agreeing with you, "the prayer of agreement is most powerful", that if they are still alive they will be returned safely...and this awful man imprisoned for life.

[missyme]

What time is America's Most Wanted on tonite?

[GrandmaC]

I know he could be anywhere in the country (well maybe not the very extreme parts of the US, but he definately could be anywhere else). These pictures need to get out. Children of transcients are just as important in God's eyes as a rich child. Has anyone seen it on MSNBC?

Maybe because we don't have any video? Or maybe because the parents are not media savy and called the media and cried on aire? No clue. Or maybe because the parents made a big mistake and allow the children to ride in the car. They feel there won't be any symphathy for the family. But those children need HELP!

[GrandmaC]

Here it is on at 9pm Pacific time. I don't know if it varies across the country.

[GrandmaC]

Amen! What a wonderous Lord we Have!

[GrandmaC]

Has anyone in Washington notice if this Amber Alert ever got up on the reader boards in Washington State yet. This morning they were saying it still had not been cleared in Tacoma.

[missyme]

Okay..I am in Calif. So is should be on here too at 9p.m

[lakey]

Read this thread last night, looked in CNN and on Drudge - nothing!

Praying that our merciful Lord will protect these precious little lives.

TR, please put me back on your ping list.

[Alamo-Girl]

[trussell]

Welcome back lakey!!

I just noticed...when you asked me to take you off the prayer ping list...I accidentely missed taking you off the Missing person list. Will you forgive me?

[narses]

This is my back yard. Please pray for these children and their family. Please, if you are on the I90 corridor watch for the vehicle.

[kstewskis]

yikes!

My sister is in CDL. I hope they find these two kids, fast.

[MadAboutIt]

I am outraged at this abduction. What in the hell were these parents thinking.. I know the family (not on a personal level) I think the cops need to be looking at the parents in this case.. did anyone else notice that Ford was wearing the same shirt in the picture that he was reported missing in?? I could go on but I won't.. I'm so mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pray that God will protect these little kids..Ford tapped on my arm a couple of weeks ago.. and said "hey hey hey.. look at this" Pray Pray Pray

[cgk]

Praying for these little ones... Hoping against hope they're okay.

From CodeAmber's website... suspect.

[GrandmaC]

Did you get to see it, anything new? I tried so hard to stay awake but fell asleep. Did anyone else see American Most Wanted Last Night? If so please write up what they said.

It is soooo important that this gets more coverage, or those babies are lost forever. Please if you hear anything at all anyone - Post it. Also go on a letter writing campaign to the major networks to have them cover this. It would be easy to go on with our lives and forget this ever happen, but what of those precious little ones. Freepers can you Join in here and try and help?

[GrandmaC]

Thank you. I think the parents are part of what makes some media run with a story and some not. In the Smart case they were right out in front of the media immediately, and they never let up. Everytime it started to die down they went right back out again. Her pictures and video's where everywhere. They had resources. These Mom's don't and I don't know if there are Dad's in the picture or not.

[GrandmaC]

Since we are going into day 3 we need to be watching all interstates Nationwide. He could literally be anywhere in the US now. He started out in Louisiana, he is wanted in 5 states. He could even be in Canada. Coeur d'Alene is only 90 miles or so from Canada.

I would imagine if the children are alive at this point depends on why he took them in the first place. I could speculate here but I see no point, we all know the possibilities.
