Jacob Clare, a Kentucky man charged with aggravated kidnapping, is now in custody, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Clare is the father of Noah Clare and uncle of Amber Clare.
"On November 5th, a 5-year-old boy was the result of a parental abduction by his father, Jacob Clare. That occurred in the state of Tennessee. … In the interactions between then and now, Jacob Clare's niece…Amber Clare, was also taken from Kentucky to the state of California," Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes said during a Thursday press conference.
Barnes added that the parents of both children are on their way to California.
A good samaritan named Julia Bonin saw the trio while she was dropping her son off at school and called police after recognizing them from photos posted online, she said during the presser.
