43:15Now PlayingA Utah mother is accused of abducting her four children and fleeing the country, triggering an international manhunt involving local police and federal authorities. Police and family members have pointed to alarming TikTok videos in which Elleshia Anne Seymour, 35, allegedly spoke about receiving dreams from God, warned of the “end times,” claimed Salt Lake City would be destroyed, referenced natural disasters and urged others to “brace for the apocalypse.” Seymour is charged with four counts of custodial interference and removing a child from the state after investigators say she disappeared with her children on Nov. 29, leaving behind an unlocked home in West Jordan, Utah. Police say she shares custody with two fathers, neither of whom consented to any travel. The missing children are Landon Seymour, 11, Levi Parker Seymour, 8, Hazel Raye Seymour, 7, and Jacob Kurt Brady, 3. Court documents show Seymour’s vehicle was found abandoned at Salt Lake City International Airport, and surveillance footage tracked her boarding a one-way international flight with all four children. Authorities later confirmed the family traveled through Europe and ultimately landed in Croatia.
