SACRAMENTO, CA - A Sacramento man was being sought after authorities said he abducted his two children from county care during a court-allowed visit Wednesday, according a Sacramento County Sheriff's Department spokesman.
Investigators said they had no reason to believe David Gwilliam intended to harm his children or that the kids were in imminent danger after the abduction from the visitation facility on the 2300 block of Glendale Lane in Sacramento, sheriff's Sgt. Tim Curran said.
Curran said Gwilliam, 25, walked out of the building with 6-year-old son Tyler and 20-month-old daughter Lilly-Ann just 12 minutes after arriving for the observed visit around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The children were made wards of the court in February 2009.
Gwilliam was described as 6 feet tall, 170 pounds with short brown hair, hazel eyes and a pierced eyebrow. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt with white printing and dark jeans.
Tyler is 3 feet, 8 inches tall, 49 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. He was last seen wearing a red hooded jacket with stripes on the sleeves, a tan t-shirt, blue jeans, and white tennis shoes with blue soles.
Lilly-Ann has curly blonde hair and blue eyes and was last seen wearing a lavender hair bow, a pink and green windbreaker, a light pink onesie, dark blue pants, and white tennis shoes with pink on the soles.
Curran said Gwilliam could be driving one of three vehicles: a light blue Ford Explorer with Florida license plates, a dark blue 80s van, or a tan 1986 Chevrolet van.
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Gwilliam or his children was asked to call the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department at 916-874-5115 or Crime Alert at 916-443-HELP.
