Four California brothers missing since Friday and sought in an Amber Alert have been found safe. The Perez boys, ages 6 to 11, went missing along with their parents, Daniel and Erica Perez, and yesterday, authorities found one of the family's cars—with Erica Perez's body inside. Police believed the boys to be with Daniel Perez in the family's other car, and CHP officers located that vehicle today. A pursuit ensued, and after the vehicle came to a stop on a San Diego highway, officers started negotiating with Perez, NBC San Diego reports. Eventually, Perez exited the car holding one boy's hand and walked to the edge of the ramp the car was on; officers tackled him and took him into custody. (More missing child stories.)
