Six children missing from Crossville since Oct. 22; sheriff’s office seeks public help
Cumberland County authorities say six siblings were taken from a Crossville home and may be in danger. Investigators are looking for their non-custodial parent and a red Chrysler minivan believed to be traveling toward Mexico.
Six siblings, including a 9-month-old baby, have been reported missing from Crossville, and the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public to help locate them.
The children have been missing since Oct. 22, after they were reportedly taken from a residence on Creston Road by their non-custodial parent, Misty Ware, the sheriff’s office said. Investigators have expressed concern for the children’s safety and welfare.
Ware was last known to be traveling with the children in a red Chrysler Town & Country minivan. Authorities believe the vehicle may be headed toward Mexico. Ware also has known ties to Cumberland and Marion counties in Tennessee and to Georgia, according to the sheriff’s office.
The missing children are Anahi Ware, 16; Maximo Ware, 10; Abalino Almaraz-Ware, 8; Luisa Almaraz-Ware, 5; Paloma Ware, 3; and Felix Ware, 9 months. All six have brown hair and brown eyes. Their clothing when they disappeared is unknown.
Anyone who sees the children or the minivan is urged to call 911. People with information about their whereabouts can contact the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office at 931-484-6176 and ask for the sergeant.
