Two Kansas sisters have been reunited with their mother after being abducted by their father, who also murdered their older brothers.
On Sunday, Leavenworth police received a 911 call from a family member who went to check on the kids after one of them did not show up to a soccer game, reports say. Upon arrival, the bodies of Logan Jackson, 14, and Austin Jackson, 12, were found inside the Kansas home.
The children’s father, Donny Jackson, 40, was identified as the prime suspect. After discovering that the boys’ younger sisters, 7-year old Nora Jackson, and 3-year-old Aven Jackson were missing, an AMBER Alert was issued in three states.
Several hours later, officials announced that the girls were found safe after their father was stopped by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol near Ericka. He was taken into custody. The girls were reunited with their mother.
Since the horrific incident, a GoFundMe page has been created on behalf of the kid’s mother Tara Jackson to pay for the funeral costs for her two sons, and “other unknowns in the future.”
“Tara is now faced with the overwhelming task of paying for a funeral for her two sons,” the page’s organizer writes.
“She will also face many other unknowns in the future. Nora and Aven were reunited with Tara after a multi-state amber alert, will undoubtedly need help to get through this tragic event as well. Please help Tara in any way you can.”
As of Tuesday, the page has surpassed its $50,000 goal with $55,142.
According to reports, Donny filed for divorce from Tara in 2019 and scheduled to appear in court for a divorce hearing on next month.
Jackson remains in jail in Oklahoma. He is expected to make an appearance in court on Monday.
