Kidnapped Katie and Emma Peterson Have Been Found!
Press Release
For Immediate Release
“Kidnapped Katie and Emma Peterson Have Been Found!”
Dallas Tx – Two children who were abducted by their mother and grandmother have been found and final extradition orders have been issued for Katie and Emma Peterson. The children were found in Tralee Ireland living with their mother and grandmother who abducted them in March of 2005.
In March of 2005, the children’s father Michael attempted to pick the children up for visitation. He found that his ex-wife, Tedra Peterson and her mother Kay Marie Erickson, had left their home in Plano Texas and the children were missing. A nationwide search was undertaken in an attempt to locate the children. Full custody was granted to the father and warrants for the arrest of Tedra Peterson and Kay Erickson were issued by the Collin County Grand Jury after it was determined that the children had possibly left the country to Canada.
In August of 2006, in coordination with the Plano Police Department, Child Rescue Network and Klein Investigations and Consulting were brought into the case. In November 2006 a possible lead was found to suggest that the children may have been taken to Ireland by their mother and grandmother by Lead Investigator Philip Klein. A positive ID was made by undercover agents in Tralee Ireland.
In cooperation with the US Department of State, The US Department of Justice and the Collin County District Attorney, an indictment and extradition order was issued to INTERPOL.
Upon deportation and arrival in the United States in the next week, Tedra Peterson and Kay Erickson will face trial for felony Interference with Child Custody in Collin County, Texas. The children will be reunited with their father after almost two years.
This is the second major missing child cold case abduction return by Child Rescue Network and the sixth successful in 2006 for Klein Investigations and Consulting of kidnapped children around the world.
