Siblings Willow Bryant, 2, and Wyman Bryant, 4, who were reported missing on August 14, 2024, were located by the authorities, though it remains unclear where the young brother and sister were found. An Amber Alert was issued by the California Highway Patrol a few days later.
The children were abducted by their biological parents, Tiffany Bryant, 39, and David James, 53, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said.
During the past year, the children were in the foster care system after their youngest sibling was tested positive for drugs at birth. The suspects have been taken into custody.
Nina Glass, the director of a Texas-based nonprofit that aided in the search, told Newsweek that the parents abducted Wyman and Willow during a supervised visit with the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) in South Los Angeles. They exited the facility through an emergency exit, leaving their youngest child, just 15-months-old, behind.
“They are the type of people that can live off grid, if that makes sense. They like to be out there in the middle of nowhere,” Glass said of the parents. “State parks – we always say RV parks, rest areas, you might see them at truck stops because they’re nomadic. They live out of their car. They don’t really have an address.”
This wasn’t the first time Bryant and James to abduct their children.
The first occurrence happened last summer when their third child was born, and the children were located two months later. Allegedly, they regained visitation rights after that but under supervision.
