Sears is charged in warrants with kidnapping. Jones, who was free on bail after being charged with molesting a child, is charged with being in breach of bail and could also be charged with stealing the camper.

The couple are believed to have visited Disneyworld near Paris and then traveled on. Sgt. Robert Evans of the North Wales Police said investigators are concerned the couple may not have enough money to care properly for the children.
