Amber Alert Leads to Safe Recovery of Two Colorado Children in Texas

Overview

• Adams County deputies responded Saturday to a parental abduction report from the children's guardian in the 8600 block of Faraday Street north of Denver.
• The mother, identified by officials as Magali Mejia Sanchez, allegedly took her 13-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter despite limits that allowed only supervised visits.
• Investigators said she told the guardian she intended to take the children to Mexico.
• After determining the group was in Texas, authorities issued a statewide Amber Alert that listed Justiceburg as the last known location.
• Around 2 a.m. Sunday, Fredericksburg police located the children and arrested Mejia Sanchez, and officials are working to reunite the pair with their guardian.
