The parents failed to comply and were last seen in the 100 block of North Broadway Avenue in Tyler at 12 p.m. on Monday. Their current whereabouts are unknown but they are possibly driving in a white truck of unknown make and model.

The mother has been identified as 30-year-old Michelle Wolf, who is described as having brown hair and blue eyes, standing 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 140 pounds. The father is 36-year-old Ricky Williams, a white man with blond hair and blue eyes, standing 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 135 pounds.

Ryder is described as a white baby boy with brown hair and blue eyes, standing 1 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 6 pounds. He was last seen wearing a sky blue onesie with blue sharks.
