The missing girls were last seen Thursday, just before 6 p.m. local time, at a restaurant near Central Expressway and Virginia Parkway.

In the Amber Alert, law enforcement officials stated the girls were "in grave or immediate danger" and "have reason to believe they are in serious danger."

Jessica and Jennifer Burns were last seen at the restaurant location, where they were "having a supervised visit with their non-custodial father, along with CPS, who had temporary custody of the girls."

Police had not previously released details on how the girls went missing, whether the abduction occurred during the supervised visit or if the father was involved.
