Amber Alert For 3 Missing Brothers Extended To Southern California

Update: Amber Alert Lifted After Mother Turns Self In, Sons Found Safe In Lancaster

Authorities believe three boys who were allegedly abducted by their mother and last seen in Albuquerque, New Mexico, may now be in Southern California. The California Highway Patrol issued an amber alert shortly after 2 p.m. local time Sunday on behalf of the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department in New Mexico for San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

The mother, 28-year-old Laria Walker-Anderson, is not facing criminal charges at this time and has full custody of Lloyd Wyatt, 9, Lakai Wyatt, 8, and Lexxington Wyatt, 6. However, officials from the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department are concerned for the children's safety after Walker-Anderson allegedly made threats of possible self-harm and harm against the children early Sunday morning, according to deputies.

Deputies believe the boys are in "imminent danger." Walker-Anderson has a loaded .45 caliber handgun in her vehicle, according to officials.

"We're here to help Laria and her children," officials said during a press conference. "Our concern is their safety and their welfare."

Deputies believe Walker-Anderson left Albuquerque from 1 a.m. to 4 a.m. Sunday morning. Anderson was driving a 2009 silver Kia Spectra with a New Mexico license plate number of AAYR80. She was last seen driving westbound on Interstate 40 near State Route 95.

Deputies believe Walker-Anderson was headed to Southern California because she has family there. The Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department is working with authorities in Arizona and California.

The children are all described as black with black hair and brown eyes. Lloyd is 3 feet 5 inches tall, 65 pounds, has long dreaded hair and was last seen wearing "Despicable Me" pajamas. Lakai is 3 feet 5 inches tall, 65 pounds, has short dreaded hair and was last seen wearing gray pajama pants. Lexxington is 3 feet tall, 50 pounds and was last seen wearing yellow and white shorts. Their mother is described as black with brown hair and brown eyes, 5 feet 4 inches tall and 132 pounds.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
