An Amber Alert has been issued out of Missouri on Monday evening in the hope that two children abducted out of Warsaw can be found and brought home safely. The details of the abduction are currently scarce, but investigators hope that the Missouri Amber Alert will result in the victims being located quickly.

Warsaw is located roughly 100 miles southeast of Kansas City, in an area known as the Land of the Ozarks.

As KSHB 41 reports, an Amber Alert was issued by Missouri officials after two young children were snatched from their home by their mother, who has been identified as 39-year-old Carmelita Wilson. At this point, it is unknown whether or not Wilson lived in the home with the children, or what their custody situation may have been before they vanished.

Carmelita Wilson is described in the Amber Alert as being 5 feet 6 inches tall, roughly 135 pounds, and having blonde hair. Her image has been released to law enforcement and made available as part of the Missouri Amber Alert.

According to reports, Carmelita abducted her 9-year-old son Gabriel B. Longley Wilson and her 7-year-old daughter, Serenity D Longley Wilson on Monday evening. While details are slim, Fox 2 Now reports that the children were taken from “their” home, indicating that they may not have been residing at the same location as their mother at the time of their alleged abduction.

The address of the abduction which led to the Missouri Amber Alert is in the vicinity of the 26200 block of Highway 00. According to investigators, the children were taken at around 6:15 p.m., and the Amber Alert was issued shortly thereafter.

Police have not released descriptions of the abducted children at this point, and it has been reported that law enforcement doesn’t yet have proper descriptions of the kids named in the Amber Alert or what they may have been wearing at the time of their abduction.

Carmelita Wilson was reportedly last spotted driving a red 1998 GMC Jimmy with Missouri plates CL6X4F.

At this time, it is unknown what direction Wilson may have been heading after she allegedly abducted her children, or where she could be taking them. Anyone who sees Carmelita Wilson and/or her children or their vehicle, or who may have tips regarding the Missouri Amber Alert, is being asked to contact their local police department or call 911 immediately.

[***Update: The Missouri Amber Alert reported late Monday evening has been cancelled, reports KSHB 4 News. According to law enforcement, after searching for Carmelita Wilson and her two children, children she had allegedly abducted, triggering the Amber Alert, Wilson and the two young kids were safely located.

The children, ages seven and nine, were reported missing and abducted from their Warsaw, Missouri home just after 6:00 p.m. on Monday. According to the initial Amber Alert, their mother, Carmelita Wilson, had abducted the pair.

There has been no word on what led police to the discovery of Wilson and her two children, or what may have prompted the 39-year-old woman to take them in the first place. It is unknown if the allegedly abducted Missouri children have been reunited with their family yet, following the cancellation of the Amber Alert.

Both children are said to be in good condition early Tuesday morning. Although police are releasing few details at this time and never did release photographs of the allegedly abducted children, they have reportedly been recovered safe and sound. As for their mother, Carmelita Wilson, the woman who triggered the Amber Alert and frantic search throughout Missouri, she is reported to have been taken into police custody on suspicion of child abduction; it is unknown whether those charges may be modified. No further word is available early Tuesday, but updates on the Missouri Amber Alert are expected later Tuesday.***]
