Overview
- Airport video shows Elleshia Anne Seymour departing Salt Lake City on a one-way Delta itinerary to Croatia via Amsterdam on November 29–30, with her vehicle later found at the airport.
- Investigators say a voicemail to a father claimed she was in France seeking residency because the 'end times' were near, and a notebook and to-do list referenced shredding documents, discarding phones and taking passports.
- Utah’s Department of Public Safety issued an endangered and missing advisory on December 10 naming Seymour as the abductor and identifying the children as Landon, Levi, Hazel and Jacob, ages 3 to 11.
- West Jordan police pursued charges including four counts of custodial interference and removing a child from the state, and a court authorized a no-bail arrest warrant and a temporary protective order.
- The FBI is assisting local authorities in the cross-border search, while the children’s father has raised funds to travel to Europe to retrieve them and secure therapy once they are found.
