According to a Facebook post from Missouri State Highway Patrol, 8-year-old Genesis Padron and 4-year-old Samuel Padron were found safe in Oklahoma. They had been missing from Southwest City, Mo., since Thursday morning.

A suspect is in custody, authorities said, but the post did not provide any further information.
