5 Minnesota Kids Go Missing Over Weekend: Police

MINNESOTA — Police now say five Minnesota children are now considered missing. The children's names are Mateo, 10; Mollycia, 11; Mojo, 13; Morgan, 16; and Marco Cooley, 17.

Authorities say Mateo, Mollycia and Morgan were last seen around 10:30 p.m. Saturday leaving a Rose Creek home with their mother — Izetta Cooley — despite the court ordering her to have no contact with the children.

Mojo and Marco are missing as well and investigators believe they may also be with Izetta Cooley.

The group is believed to be traveling in a black 2007 Suzuki XL7 with Minnesota license plate 103WJC.

Izetta Cooley is 5 feet, four inches, 180 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair. She and the children may be in Minnesota but may also be traveling in South Dakota or North Dakota, police said.

Cooley's husband is currently in jail on a murder charge, authorities told the Star Tribune.

Anyone with information on their whereabouts is urged to call 911.
