According to a Minnesota Crime Alert Network Missing Person Alert, the Mower County Sheriff’s Office is seeking assistance in locating three children, Mateo Cooley, 10; Mollycia Cooley, 11; and Maryssa Cooley, 15.

The children were last seen in Rose Creek, MN around 10:30 p.m. Saturday, September 29.

Their mother, Izetta Cooley (12/11/1978), who is court ordered not to have contact with the children came to the residence they were staying at and took them.

It is believed that Marco Cooley, 16 (not pictured), is also traveling with them.

Because of recent events authorities are concerned for their welfare.

They are believed to be traveling in a black 2007 Suzuki XL7 with MN license plate 103WJC.

Izetta’s residence is in Moorhead, MN but it is unclear where they may be heading.

It is possible they are staying in a hotel.
