Utah Amber Alert Issued for Tyler Jay Morton (12), Steven Thomas Morton (7)

Springfield, IL, December 31, 2005 --(PR.com)-- Box Elder County officials issued an Amber Alert about 9 p.m. Friday after a pair of brothers was taken from their grandmother's home in Plymouth.

The children ages 7 and 12, disappeared sometime between 3:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. and are believed to be with their biological mother, who is not their legal guardian, Box Elder County sheriff's Sgt. Kevin Potter said.

Tessa Marie Morton has not had custody of the children since 2001, but was on a supervised visit with them, Potter said. Judy Cline, their grandmother and Tessa's mother, told police she last saw all three about 3:30 a.m., but when she awoke about 6 a.m., they were gone and her car was missing.

Cline called police immediately, but the Amber Alert was only issued after Cline and police tried to locate Morton by contacting friends and family, Potter said.
