The Ripley County Sheriff’s Department has issued an Endangered Person Advisory for a brother and sister reportedly taken by their older brothers.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, 7-year-old Raelyn Vargas and 5-year-old Ashton Vargas were forcibly taken by their two older brothers, ages 15 and 16, from their mother in Doniphan at 1:55 a.m. on Friday, June 28.

MSHP said deputies have been in contact with one of the brothers and they will not tell deputies where they are and would only say they are safe and will not bring the two younger children back.

Investigators say the missing children were last seen in a silver or tan Ford truck, with unknown registration, traveling westbound on Route K.
