Utah Mother Sought in Alleged Abduction of Four Children as FBI Joins Europe Search

Investigators now have a no-bail warrant plus a protective order, bolstering a cross-border search tied to alleged forged travel documents.

Overview

  • Airport surveillance shows Elleshia Anne Seymour boarding a one-way Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Croatia on Nov. 30 with a stop in Amsterdam.
  • Utah authorities issued an endangered and missing advisory on Dec. 10 listing Seymour as the abductor after her car was found at the airport.
  • Seymour faces four counts of custodial interference, a third-degree felony, with a no-bail arrest warrant and a temporary emergency protective order in place.
  • Family statements report a voicemail claiming she was in France seeking residency because the “end times” were near, plus notes referencing Italy by Christmas and a to-do list to destroy records and use a prepaid phone.
  • The children’s father launched a GoFundMe and alleges forged passports; the four children are identified as Landon, 11, Levi, 8, Hazel, 7, and Jacob, 3, and authorities say the family has not been located.
