THREE children who mysteriously disappeared more than two years ago have been found alive in a desert town near Utah.
The boys were first reported missing in October 2022 – officers thought their father may have been working with relatives to orchestrate the disappearance.

But after tipping off local police in late August, officers were eventually able to locate the children.
They were found in Fredonia, Arizona, just a three-hour drive from their home in Beaver County, Utah.
The children spent two years in a small desert town, living with their grandmother.
Fredonia police discovered that family members had been deliberately hiding them from the world.
The children’s grandmother and aunt, both unnamed, were arrested.
Their father has yet to be traced, and police have not released any further information about his possible involvement.
They reportedly lived in the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints, sometimes called the Mormon Church.
As a religious movement, it has come under fire in the past – and is often compared to a cult.
Over the years, he has been linked to a range of illegal activities, including child marriage, child abandonment, sexual abuse and human trafficking.
The statement of Fredonia police officers states that the children were released on September 1 and returned to their mother.
They said: “Fredonia Police would like to thank everyone involved for their assistance.
“As of today, the children are safe with their mother while the investigation continues.”
