Two Kids Were Missing For A Year, Where They Were Just Found Will…

Police in Florida found two children in a supermarket who were reported missing in Missouri nearly a year ago.

Eleven months after they were reported missing, Adrian Gilley, 12, and Brooke Gilley, 11, were recovered in the care of their non-custodial mother in Florida.

They were believed to have been kidnapped by their biological mother, Kristi Nicole Gilley, 36, who did not have legal custody of them at the time. The three were found at a Winn-Dixie market in High Springs, Florida, after a routine vehicle tag check of the car.

The traffic check revealed that Kristi was on the run from Missouri police.

High Springs police located Kristi and her two abducted children inside the supermarket as they were shopping.

According to AWM:

All three of them were wearing disguises to hide their identity. Authorities managed to arrest the mother and identify the children as Brooke and Adrian Gilley, who went missing about eleven months before their discovery in Florida.

Thankfully, the two Missouri children are no longer with their kidnapper of a mother. Instead, they are thrown into the system with the Florida Department of Children and Families Services, where they will be taken care of until they can be reunited with their proper family members who have guardianship over the abducted children.

The two children will be reunited with their birth family, according to Florida officials. Prior to the authorities realizing that Gilley had taken them across the country to Florida, authorities thought the children were living in hiding in California – on the other side of the country.

No details have been provided as to why Kristi was stripped of guardianship and how she managed to abduct the kids, the New York Post reported.

Kristi remained in prison in Florida as of Sunday, and she will be transferred to Missouri to face charges there.

Liberty Police Department in Missouri said in a statement:

“Both Gilley kids have been safely located out of state. Their non-custodial mother is in custody on parental kidnapping charges out of Clay County, Missouri. Thank you to everyone who shared this post, as it helped bring these children home!!!”
