The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) has initiated an Endangered Child Alert for two young siblings, a 1-year-old boy named Rico Delk and his 3-month-old brother Elijah Delk. The children are reported to be with their non-custodial mother, 39-year-old Sarah Myers, as per an alert issued by the authorities. In a statement obtained by WSMV, officials described the boys as biracial with brown hair and brown eyes, with Rico standing at 1′01″ and weighing 20 pounds, and Elijah at 1′0″ and 10 pounds.
Sarah Myers, accompanied by her boys, is believed to be traveling in a 1997 cream Lincoln Town Car, Tennessee tag BDL 2290. The motives and circumstances behind the children's disappearance have not been made clear by the authorities, and public assistance in locating them is urged. Both boys may not have known where they were headed, being so young, in the company of their mother according to a NewsChannel5 report.
The TBI and the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) have released descriptions of both the children and Myers to aid the public in their identification. Myers is described as 5′5″ and 165 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. With the Endangered Child Alert issuance, the situation is treated with urgency, signaling potential danger to the children's welfare. Details contributed by WKRN clarified these descriptions and the vehicle they are believed to be using.
The authorities have requisitioned that anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Rico, Elijah, or Myers should immediately contact the MNPD at 615-862-8600 or the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND. The community's role in safeguarding the well-being of these children cannot be overstated, and any tip could prove essential. As of now, the TBI has not disclosed any additional specifics about the case, only the tangible details needed to assist in the children's recovery in the hopes that anyone with a sighting of the cream-colored Lincoln might bring the children closer to home, as noted in the TBI's call to action reported by WSMV.
