CBI says the group left Colorado on Oct. 26 in a 2019 black Toyota 4Runner with a Colorado license plate BVGI94 or 2014 Green Toyota Sienna with Colorado license plate CGMO17. They say the two suspects had three daughters with them when they left, and one of those girls was abandoned. She was later found safely.
