MISSION, Kan. — Authorities say a man accused of abducting his two daughters from a Kansas home where their two brothers were killed has been going through a divorce with the children’s mother.
Maj. James Sherley, of the Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Department, said Monday that 40-year-old Donny Jackson and his wife are estranged and that he had “on-again, off-again access to the children.” The homicide-abduction investigation began around 1:30 p.m. Saturday after the bodies of 14-year-old Logan Jackson and 12-year-old Austin Jackson were found in their father’s home.
Their sisters 3-year-old Aven Jackson and 7-year-old Nora Jackson were found unharmed later that night in Oklahoma after an Amber Alert was issued.
