The National Centre of Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), along with the Round Rock Police Department in Texas, is asking the public to help locate two missing children, Luluvioletta Bandera-Magret, 7, and Lilianais Griffith, 14. The police suspect the girls maybe in Louisiana.

Texas law enforcement authorities believe the children were abducted by Terry Miles, 44, the person of interest in the suspicious murder of the girls' mother, Tonya Bates. Miles was Bates’ roommate, and his relationship with the kids was unclear. He was last heard from on Saturday, according to police, CBS News reported.

The girls, who were last seen in Round Rock, have been missing since Saturday, according to NCMEC.

Luluvioletta, 7, is 4 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 75 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes. Lilliana, 14, is 5 feet 10 inches, weighs 100 pounds and has brown eyes. She wears a right nose stud and has braces. The suspect, Miles, is described as 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing 200 pounds with hazel eyes. He also wears glasses and has a beard.

Bates’ neighbor James Reid stumbled upon the crime scene when he came home Sunday night, according to KXAN, a local NBC affiliate. Reid hoped the kids were unhurt and safe.

“I was speechless at first because that never happened next door where I live. About a good 12 cop cars, a couple K9’s, they had all this taped off. Usually, you hear it, and it’s like, ‘Oh, it’s somewhere else.'” Reid told KXAN.

Miles was travelling in a gray 2017 Hyundai Accent with Texas license plate number JGH9845, according to Texas law enforcement.

If you have seen the missing children or Miles' vehicle, Texas authorities urge you to call 911, or any of the other numbers that are displayed in the NCMEC tweet.
