ST. GEORGE — A missing mom and three children were found safe and unharmed by the Nevada Highway Patrol on Tuesday after police said they were in danger.
According to the St. George Police Department, the 27-year-old mother and her three children, who were under the age of 10, were believed to be missing and endangered early Tuesday morning. KSL TV received missing persons report at approximately 3 a.m.
The department said the family had a protective order against David Gene Remley, 36, who was seen Monday afternoon picking three children up at a daycare in St. George. It was unknown if the mother was with Remley when they were picked up.
At 2:05 p.m., St. George police reported that the NHP found the woman and her children with Remley. They were safe and unharmed. Remley was taken into police custody.
On Aug. 21, Nevada’s Department of Public Safety, and State Police, issued a release stating the woman and children were found after Nevada State Highway Patrol located Remley’s car traveling westbound on Interstate 80 near Winnemucca.
“Detectives are working with NHP to determine what happened. More information will be released when it becomes available,” St. George police said. “Thank you to everyone who assisted in this investigation.”
Remley was found to have an extensive history of domestic violence, with over half a dozen cases including charges of domestic violence in the presence of children. Remley was convicted in some of the cases, and one is still ongoing.
