The US Marshals Service announced that two missing children from Washington State have been found living under different names in Virginia nearly three years after they were reported missing. The children's mother had taken them after losing custody and concealed their identities to evade law enforcement. They were returned to the father’s custody on September 16 without details provided about potential criminal charges against the mother. Since 2015, the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act has enabled the US Marshals Service to assist in recovering endangered missing children, leading to the recovery of 5,281 missing children by the agency.

Story summary
In September 2023, two missing children from Washington State, who vanished nearly three years earlier in December 2023, were found living under different identities in Virginia near the greater Washington, DC area. The US Marshals Service assisted local law enforcement and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children after the case went cold without any leads. With support from various agencies including the Carolinas Regional Fugitive Task Force, Baltimore County Police Department, and Arlington Police Department, the children were located safely. It was revealed that their mother, who had lost custody, took them to avoid law enforcement. The children were subsequently returned to their father's custody on September 16 but it remains unclear if charges will be filed against the mother.
