The siblings left Grape Community Hospital at approximately 11:30-pm Tuesday. The pair had previously been reported as runaways. Authorities were able to make contact with a person who had been thought to harboring the children and keeping them from the guardians. Following an investigation, 46-year old Michelle Beard, and 17-year old Matthew Beard, were both arrested for harboring runaway children and interference with official acts.

The pair was able to hide the children and pass them off to other people involved before deputies were able to locate the children. The Beard’s were transported to the Fremont County Jail, where Michelle was being held on $8,300 cash bond. Matthew Beard was transported to the Juvenile Detention Center in Council Bluffs.
