Lewis and Kaylee Dunn and Kadyn Simon were reported missing June 2.

Law enforcement agencies across southern Idaho are continuing to request the public's help for leads into locating three Caldwell children who were reported missing June 2.

An AMBER Alert was issued on Monday for Lewis Dunn, 10, Kadyn Simon, 6, and Kaylee Dunn, 9.

Authorities believe the children were taken by Jason "Travis" Simon, who remains the subject of a sexual abuse investigation involving the taken children. All three children are believed to be in imminent danger due to these circumstances.

Simon, along with Sarah Joy VanOcker-Dunn, fled Idaho with the three children after purchasing camping equipment in Emmett. Simon was driving a gold in color 2006 Pontiac Montana van with Idaho license plate 2CJN683.

The suspects were seen in Arcada, Calif., on June 8 and in Sparks, Nev., on June 12.

There is a $100,000 warrant for Simon for sexual abuse of a child under 16. A $150,000 warrant was also issued for VanOcker-Dunn for felony custodial interference.

Those with any information about the children or the suspects are asked to contact the Caldwell Police Department at 454-7531 or by contacting local authorities at 587-2100.
