Four young foster children are missing from Arapahoe County and are believed to be in immediate danger, according to the sheriff's office.

The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office identified the siblings as Jyron Gardette, 9, Heaven Myles, 7, Jehoward Gardette, 6, and Israel Gardette, 4.

They may be with Howard Myles, 47, according to an alert from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. A spokesperson with the sheriff's office said he is the children's non-custodial father and had court-ordered visitation this weekend, but did not return the kids on Sunday. He has ties to Louisiana and Texas.

He is described as a Black man standing 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds. He has dreadlocks, according to a CBI alert.

CBI said the man and children may be traveling together, possibly headed out of state, in a gold Pontiac Grand Prix with dark, tinted windows and a sunroof. Below is a photo of the actual vehicle.
