Children In Amber Alert Found; Police Still Searching For Dad

MARKHAM, IL — Two younger children who were thought to be abducted by their father and the subject of an Amber Alert earlier this week were found safe, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Lynn Roby, 3, and Jordyn Washington, 2, were found safe by authorities Thursday afternoon.

Markham police requested the Amber Alert on Wednesday, March 15, after they suspected the children had been taken by their father, Lynn Washington, 46. He is wanted for questioning in the death of the children's mother, who was fatally shot Wednesday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
