CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Editor's note: The four children in this story have been found safe. Their names have been removed from the story to protect their privacy.
Investigators have new information in the case of four children who were reported missing earlier this week, the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies said the four children were last seen June 30. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation sent out an Endangered Missing Alert Sunday asking the public to be on the lookout for them.
Investigators believe the children's father, 47-year-old Howard Myles, took them, and their mother, 26-year-old Clarissa Gardette, is with them as well. Both are wanted on warrants for violation of custody orders.
Investigators said they may be headed to Louisiana, where they are from. They have ties to New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as well as Dallas, Texas, the sheriff's office said.
The sheriff's office said Saturday that based on new information in the case, investigators believe Myles, Gardette and the children may be traveling in Gardette's gold 2005 Honda Pilot (similar vehicle pictured below). It may have stolen or fake plates, and the last six numbers of the VIN are 512919.
Deputies said the children were living in a foster care home and Myles had a weekend visit with them, per court order. He picked them up at 3:45 p.m. on June 30 and was supposed to return then on July 2, but did not. Gardette has supervised visits only, the sheriff's office said.
"Investigators are actively looking for Myles and Gardette in conjunction with the above warrants and to return the children to safety," the sheriff's office said in a news release. "The children are believed to be in immediate danger due to a history of neglect, child abuse, drugs, domestic violence, weapons charges and previous dangerous situations they have been placed in."
Anyone with information that may help the investigation is asked to call Arapahoe County dispatch at 303-795-4711 or the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 720-913-STOP (720-913-7867). You can remain anonymous and be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000.
