I'm so worried for these kids and their mom - amber alert just came on my phone. Police believe they are in imminent danger!
 
This Amber Alert came across my TV just a bit ago. So are we to assume that both cars are missing as they could be in either one? They could be out of the state in no time flat. I am heading out to the Christiana Mall and I will keep my eyes open.
 
Yes, I would assume so - they were last seen at 10pm last night. Depending on when they left, they could pretty much be anywhere on the east coast or half way to the west coast by now.
 
Kids found safe, Mom still missing...

so mom takes children disappears but found at dad's.................how did he get them?
 
We don't know that she took the kids and disappears...she and the kids were last seen at 10pm last night. They could have been taken (her and the kids) together...kids turn up safe, but she's still missing. LE found evidence of suspicious circumstances at the residence.
 
So the kids were located in Indiana - that's a bit of a hike from Delaware...dad is in custody. One of his charges is assault with serious bodily injury - wonder who he assaulted?

According to Indiana State Police, Cortez Hamilton Sr. is in custody at the Warwick County Jail. He was arrested in Southwest Indiana. The kids are with the Warrick County Division of Child Services in Indiana.

Police there say Hamilton Sr. was wanted on two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and one count of assault with serious bodily injury.

Another article - seems it was a neighbor who called police, God Bless her for being so vigilant!!! I hope this ends well...but I have a really bad feeling.

Some neighbors in the community were shocked something like this would happen, but Tia Small told NBC10 that Hamilton was concerned she might have trouble some day.

"She said, if you don't hear from me then call the cops," said Small, "She didn't show up, so we called the cops."

Apparently he has family in Missouri and was headed there. Indiana police saw his SUV and pulled him over.
 
The amber alert seems to have worked! Indiana police spotted his vehicle and pulled him over:

As for mom, not looking good:

Investigators say they're concerned about her safety after troopers went to the couple's home on East Cayhill Lane in the Twin Willows Development, and saw signs of what they called "suspicious circumstances."

Hours later, investigators took pictures inside the house and removed bags of evidence.

Action News has learned that Keisha Hamilton is from Chester, Delaware County and Cortez Hamilton Sr. is an army veteran who listed himself as a professional body builder online.
 
according to her facebook posts, she has 2 older children (in addition to the ones that were in the amber alert).
