Missing children from Hampton found safe by police in North Dakota, father in custody

They were found with their father and taken into custody early Tuesday morning.

HAMPTON, Va. — UPDATE: The Hampton Police Division tweeted on Tuesday morning right before 6 a.m. that Timothy Truitt, Jaxon Truitt and Adriana Truitt had all been found safe and taken into custody. 

According to online records, Truitt was arrested and taken into custody in Burleigh County, North Dakota. 

Virginia State Police and the Virginia Missing Children Clearinghouse issued an Amber Alert for two children who went missing from Hampton.

Jaxon Truitt, 2, and Adriana Truitt, 1, were last seen at the Walmart at 1900 Cunningham Drive, the Hampton Police Division said.

The children were with their father, 36-year-old Timothy Truitt. 

On Monday, police shared a picture of the car they were last seen in. 

Around 2:35 p.m. Sunday, someone called 911 about a parental abduction at the Walmart Supercenter on 1900 Cunningham Drive. 

A preliminary investigation revealed the children's guardian took the two children and their father to Walmart. 

However, once inside the store, Timothy Truitt separated himself and the children from their legal guardian and left the business with the children and an unidentified man, according to police. 

 Truitt is listed on both the Virginia and North Carolina state sex offender registries for multiple charges, including indecent liberties with a minor and incest.
