Original Report:

May 20, 2015 -- Oregon State Police have issued an Amber Alert across the state to track down two abducted toddlers thought to have been taken by their father, Joshua Reavis. A two-year-old girl, Estaleyn-Ophelia Reavis, and a three-year-old boy, Slevin Reavis, have been missing for the past two days.

 

Reavis, a 31-year-old from Nampa, Idaho, was allegedly distraught after learning that his wife wanted a divorce.
