9-year-old Kaden Owens is described as a white male, weighing 80 lbs. and standing 4’1” tall. He has blue eyes and brown hair. He was last seen wearing a gray t-shirt and blue jeans.

Police believe the Owens children were abducted by 37-year-old Kenneth Greg Owens. The elder Owens is described as a white male weighing 200 lbs. and standing 6’2” with blue eyes and brown hair. He may be driving a green 1998 Chevrolet Blazer with Georgia license plate BJZ0376.
