MENDON, Cache County — Idaho police have issued an Amber Alert and are searching for two teenagers who may be traveling to a Fundamentalist LDS group in Cache County.
The Amber Alert was issued in Idaho just before 1 p.m. Monday, saying Allen Fischer, 13, and Rachelle Fischer, 15, were last seen Sunday evening in Monteview, Idaho.
Allen is 5 feet, 9 inches tall, weighs 135 pounds, has longer sandy blonde hair, blue eyes and is wearing a blue shirt with blue jeans. Rachelle is 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighs 135 pounds, has brown hair and blue eyes and is wearing a green dress.
The two teens are believed to be traveling with their 18-year-old sister, Elintra Dee Fischer, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said. Elintra Fischer was reported missing Jan. 1, 2023, and has not been located.
Elizabeth Roundy, the mother of the children, told KSL-TV she left the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints several years ago. This isn't the first time her two youngest children have tried to run away, she said.
Roundy says she's seen some of her children's older siblings hanging around where she lives lately. Allen and Rachelle's birth certificates were recently stolen from her house, as well as pictures locked in a cabinet, she said, and she thinks the older siblings have something to do with it.
The three siblings are possibly traveling in a gray Honda or Hyundai sedan with Utah license plates, headed toward an FLDS group in the Mendon or Trenton areas, according to the Amber Alert. The missing teens are being treated as runaways, as it's believed they went willingly "due to religious beliefs," the sheriff's office said.
Investigators say the mother has full custody of the children.
Roundy claims a revelation from current FLDS leadership urges members to return children to the church for the end of times.
"It just gives me the shivers down my back to read those things anymore. Because when I used to be part of it, there was so much that went on that even looking at it right now, it just makes me sick inside," she said.
