“They could realistically be anywhere in Florida if they’re not alone,” explained Jacksonville Sheriff’s spokesman Christian Hancock during a press conference Sunday night.
“If they are alone, obviously, they’re in danger because they’re 5 and 6 years old,” he added. “So we are obviously ramping up the search. We’re asking for everyone’s assistance in looking.”
Anyone with any information regarding the possible location of these children is asked to immediately contact the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office at (904) 630-0500.
