Little Village family missing after closing business has been found

CHICAGO (CBS)-- The family Little Village community activists had been trying to find has been located.

No one had seen Pedro and Justina Morales, or their 6-year-old son, Caleb, since last Tuesday, but they were found and are safe.

The couple closed their business near Kedzie Avenue and Cermak Road that night and then disappeared. The family left their clothes and phones behind.

A neighbor says Pedro seemed very nervous and claimed he was being harassed and followed. The community is growing more worried by the day.

Pedro had reached out to the pastor of the family's church because of media reports that the community was concerned. They left after receiving threats over finances but they insisted they are OK.
