They were found with their mother, who was taken into custody.
During a 3:30 p.m. press conference with the Cass County Sheriff's Office, they said they were notified about 2:45 p.m. by Calgary, Alberta Canada Police that 11-year-old Tabitha Davis, 14-year-old Jasper Davis, and 15-year-old Jordan Davis, of Harrisonville were found and were currently with Canadian officials in Calgary.
Police there have not released many details, however they said that all children are in good health and cooperating.
Earlier, authorities said Jordan was spotted in Canada with the children's mother, who doesn't have legal custody. The Cass County Sheriff's Office said 44-year-old Sherri Lynn O'Neal, also known as Sherri Lynn Davis, and one child were positively identified on surveillance photos entering a non-profit agency in Calgary, Alberta Canada on Tuesday afternoon. That agency provides assistance for individuals and families in need. The two left shortly after.
At that time, no details were released on the possible whereabouts of the other two children and no one was taken into custody.
Also during the press conference, authorities said the black Mercedes was found earlier in the investigation and had been under constant surveillance in south Kansas City, MO. After receiving information from Canada, investigators believed that the Mercedes had been abandoned at the dealership and was transported to the Cass County Sheriff's Office secure lot Wednesday afternoon.
Cass County sheriff's Maj. Jeff Weber said an endangered person advisory was issued for Tabitha Davis, Jasper and Jordan. The children's father, Jamie Davis, reported them missing Friday after he returned home from work and found they weren't there. He told deputies he believed the children were with their mother.
Jamie Davis told police he didn't think O'Neal posed any danger to the children, though she hadn't had known contact with them for at least three years, Weber said. O'Neal doesn't have a current address and has "been very transient," he said.
Weber said the matter did not meet criteria for an Amber Alert in part because the parents, who are divorced, have had problems with custody arrangements and visitation, and because the father didn't believe the children were in any danger.
"We're unsure what current plans are in place, but it's highly unorthodox for a parent to show up, not notify the other parent and take the children," Weber said.
Calls to the sheriff's office with leads had tapered off since Sunday, he said.
Sheriff's officials said O'Neal was also taken into custody, along with a second adult who had not been identified.
The Cass County Prosecuting Attorney Office filed charges against O'Neal for interference with custody – removed from state or concealed, a Class D felony. Her bond has been set at $30,000.
The Cass County Sheriff's Office is working to coordinate the return of the children and extradition of O'Neal back to the United States.
