Mom Vanishes Overseas With Kids Over 'End Times' Fears
28 Dec
Summary
- Mother allegedly abducted four children, citing biblical 'end times' fears.
- She flew with children on a one-way international flight from Utah.
- Investigators are pursuing international warrants for her return.

A Utah mother, Elleshia Anne Seymour, has been captured on airport surveillance footage calmly escorting her four children through Salt Lake City International Airport before boarding a one-way international flight and disappearing overseas. Authorities believe this was a meticulously planned abduction, carried out in violation of joint custody agreements. Seymour allegedly acted on irrational fears that Salt Lake City would be destroyed in a biblical 'end times' event.
Seymour, who shares custody with two fathers, obtained travel arrangements without their consent, leaving her vehicle behind. Investigators suspect she has no intention of returning the children to the U.S. Days after their departure, she left a voicemail for one father, stating she was in France with the children and planned to seek permanent residence due to impending 'end times.'
Law enforcement discovered evidence of her plan, including discussions about obtaining passports for the children and intentions to shred documents and discard phones. Charging documents reveal witnesses reported previous emotional breakdowns and hallucinations. An endangered missing advisory was issued, and charges of custodial interference have been filed as authorities pursue international cooperation to locate Seymour and the children.
