Authorities say three missing children from Tennessee have been found safe in northern Minnesota.  

The new information comes in a tweet by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, who also reports that two adults are in custody in connection with the disappearance.

It was earlier this week when an Endangered Child Alert was issued for 6-year-old Analia Essex, 2-year-old Abigail Christian, and 1-year-old Michael Christian.  

They reportedly were found safe in Cass County, and the alert was canceled.  

Also found and arrested were their parents, Amanda Essex and Michale Darrel Christian.

Officials aren't saying the exact location where the children and their parents were found.

Earlier this week, authorities in Tennessee reported the children had been taken without permission under suspicious circumstances, and may be headed to Minnesota.
