MONTEVIEW, Idaho (KTVX) The Uvalde Foundation for Kids is offering a five-thousand-dollar reward for the return of two Idaho teens who were allegedly kidnapped by members of the FLDS Church earlier this week.

The reward is being offered for the safe return of the teens after they were reported missing on Sunday, June 22, by their mother, Elizabeth Roundy.

Rachelle Fischer, 15, and Allen Fischer, 13, were allegedly taken from their home in Monteview, Idaho while Roundy was away at a bible study group. Police say the children were last seen wearing traditional FLDS clothing. Rachelle was last seen in a dark green prairie dress, and Allen was last seen wearing a light blue shirt with jeans and black slip-on shoes.

According to The Uvalde Foundation for Kids, Rachelle is five feet and five inches tall and weighs about 135 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. Allen is five feet and nine inches tall, weighing about 135 pounds with longer sandy blonde hair and blue eyes.

Search efforts will be spearheaded by the foundation’s “STOPNOW” patrol teams and online tracking services who are expected to canvas neighborhoods where the teens were last seen, or thought to be headed.

According to officials, a 30-person team from Idaho and Utah will also be distributing fliers and monitoring a 24-hour hotline to assist with the search.

ABC4 spoke with Roundy who believes the children left willingly with their older sister, Elintra Dee Fischer, 18, who has been missing since Jan. 1, 2023.

“They [were] willing to go because they think that it’s their salvation,” Roundy said.

While many believe the children were taken back to Utah, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in Idaho is unsure if the children left the immediate area, or if they remain close by.

Police have also narrowed down the time frame in which the children were taken to 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Sunday evening, but have found no evidence that the original vehicle, believed to be used to transport the children, was ever involved.

Anonymous and direct tips can be directed to the foundation’s crisis line at 254-499-8027.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Jefferson County dispatch center at 208-745-9210.
