(WWJ) -- Two missing cousins who were once believed to be headed to northern Michigan have been found safe on Thursday in southern California thanks to a tip from a good Samaritan.
Noah Clare, 3, from Tennessee and his cousin Amber Clare, 16, from Kentucky were found near San Clemente, California, with the younger child’s father, Jacob Clare.
A woman dropping her son off at school saw the trio and recognized them from photos she’d seen online and called 911, said officials.
Almost a week before they were found, surveillance cameras in San Clemente caught sight of the three walking hand-in-hand on Nov. 11, provided by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
The 35-year-old father is in custody and charged with aggravated kidnapping, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
