A bare-boned Amber Alert issued in Houston turned into an interstate search for five children and three adults, and now the mother and her boyfriend have been charged after they were found in Louisiana.
Deputies with the Harris County Precinct 5 Constable's Office elaborated on the alert concerning five children who, along with three adult members of their family, disappeared at about 5:30 a.m. Late Monday, a set of 16-year-old twins told deputies they escaped their home where they were allegedly handcuffed, according to the constable office's spokesperson Jeff McShan.The twins told police they did not know their home's address because they hadn't lived there long and allegedly hadn't been outside recently.
The constable's office said by the time deputies located the house, their five siblings were gone with their mother Zaikiya Duncan, 40, and her boyfriend, who was described as their stepfather in the alert, Jova Terrell, 27. According to information released by the Texas Center for the Missing, a coinciding Silver Alert was issued for Duncan's five children:
