Children are abducted from their mother in Missouri, cops say. All three are missing
An Amber Alert was issued Monday, Nov. 11, for two girls and their mother who authorities say were abducted and separated from one another.
Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers said 22-year-old Yajayra Suleyma Molina-Yat left her O’Fallon home around 6 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10, with her two children, 7-year-old Rosana Michel Mo-Molina and 6-year-old Irma Rubi Mo-Morales.
The mother and children were with two unknown men when they left the home, authorities said.
At 10:45 p.m. Sunday, they were in Phillipsburg, about a 190-mile southwest from O’Fallon, where they were separated.
According to KTVI, they stopped to use the restroom. When the mother returned, the car was gone and so were her children, the station reported.
Troopers said the mother was separated from her children against her will and forced into a red pickup truck.
Her cellphone pinged in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at 1:30 a.m. Monday. Tulsa is about a 220-mile drive southwest from Phillipsburg.
The phone was later pinged in Texas, KTVI reported.
Irma and Rosana were last seen in a black SUV, but the make and model is unclear. It’s unclear what direction the SUV was traveling.
Troopers described Irma as a 3 feet tall, 30-pound Hispanic girl with brown hair and brown eyes. Her sister Rosana is 4 feet tall, 50 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes.
