UPDATE: The amber alert has been canceled. The children were found safe and the suspect is in custody.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Kansas Amber Alert has been issued for 7-year-old Nora Jackson and 3-year-old Aven Jackson after they were taken from a home in Leavenworth where two boys were found dead, officials say. The suspect may be traveling to Oklahoma, Texas, or Arkansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident was first reported at 1:16 p.m. on Saturday when police were called to a residence in the 14900 block of Hillside Road in Leavenworth. When deputies arrived at the scene, they found two male juveniles who were the victims of an apparent homicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nora and Aven were missing from the home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect has been identified as their father, 40-year-old Donny Jackson, who is believed to have taken the children in a black 2008 Honda Accord (not a Honda Civic as police initially reported) with Kansas plate 266MXB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later on Saturday afternoon, investigators learnt that the Kansas Highway Patrol had stopped the suspect’s vehicle on Highway 169 near the Oklahoma border at 12:35 p.m., when the bodies had not yet been found. Nora and Aven were seen inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is now believed Jackson may be traveling in Oklahoma, Texas, or Arkansas,” the Kansas Bureau of Investigation said in an update at 5 p.m. The amber alert is also in effect for neighboring Missouri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who sees Nora, Aven, Donny, or the suspect vehicle, is urged to call 911 immediately, or call the Kansas Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-KS-CRIME if you have any other information that could help investigators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
