Authorities in southwest and western Iowa are searching for a couple from Prescott, who allegedly abducted their 14-year old son on Tuesday, from a foster care facility, in Council Bluffs.

According to WOI-TV in Ames, 47-year-old Carolyn Cook and 55-year-old James Strohman went to visit Cook’s 14-year-old son Dakota, who was living at Children’s Square USA, a foster care unit in Council Bluffs. Dakota had been removed from Cook’s care by the DHS.

Cook also had her 14-year-old daughter Cheyenne with them during the visit, who still lives with her mother. Cook and Strohman were allowed to visit Dakota at 7:15-a.m., Tuesday, and was supposed to return him by 8:30-a.m., but they never returned.

Dakota

Authorities in Adams and Pottawattamie County are looking at surveillance video from Children’s Square USA, Walmart and gas stations because they’re unsure what model and color of car the couple is driving. Officials also have not identified a license plate number.

Both law enforcement agencies are asking the public to be watchful for the couple and the teens. While they don’t believe the teens are in danger, but are concerned, because they claim the couple isn’t fit to care for them.
