Two Missouri children were found inside a Winn-Dixie supermarket in Florida almost a year after they were abducted, authorities said.
Brooke and Adrian Gilley were discovered at the store with their noncustodial mother, Kristi Nicole Gilley, last week, according to a statement shared on the High Springs Police Department’s Facebook page.
Gilley, 36, was discovered in the supermarket after a routine vehicle tag check found that she was a fugitive, police said.
She was detained and arrested on an active kidnapping warrant out of Clay County, Missouri, according to authorities.
