A pair of young siblings who were reported missing in Ohio in October were found this month thousands of miles away in Iceland, the U.S. Marshals Service said.
The children, whose names were not released, are 8 and 9 years old, according to marshals based in northern Ohio. Icelandic police found the at a hotel in the country's capital, Reykjavik, on Jan. 10, the agency said.
A family member reported the children missing to Canton police on Oct. 25. The children's mother — who was also not publicly identified — had stopped taking her mental health medication and abandoned her apartment, and the children stopped attending school, the marshals said.
Canton police eventually requested the assistance of the marshals, the statement said. The search also included assistance from the State Department, Interpol, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and authorities in England and Iceland.
The children's mother took them to London, the Island of Jersey in the English Channel and a remote fishing village in Iceland before they were found in Reykjavik, officials said.
