Missing Utah Children Found in Arizona

Three children missing for nearly two years have been safely returned to their mother after being found in Fredonia, Arizona. The children disappeared in October 2022, with suspicions that their father, along with members of the Fundamentalist Latter-day Saints (FLDS) church, orchestrated their disappearance. A joint effort by police from Arizona and Utah led to the children's recovery on September 1, 2024, during which their grandmother and aunt were also taken into custody. The children were reportedly living with FLDS members at the time of their discovery. The investigation is ongoing, and officials have expressed gratitude to all agencies involved in the recovery effort.
