Two children who were reported missing in Ohio in October have been found thousands of miles away in a hotel in Reykjavík, Iceland, authorities said. Newsweek reached out to the U.S. Marshals Service for comment via email on Wednesday. Newsweek is not naming the family to protect their identities.

The multi-continental search began on Oct. 25 after the siblings, ages 8 and 9, were reported missing along with their 34-year-old mother.

A pair of young siblings who were reported missing in Ohio in October were found this month thousands of miles away in Iceland, the U.S.

Two missing siblings from Ohio were found on a remote island in Iceland months after disappearing. The U.S. Marshals Service in Northern Ohio and Canton Police Department announced they recovered the two missing children in Reykjavik, Iceland on Jan. 10. The children, ages 8 and 9, were missing from Canton, Ohio.

Canton Police worked with the U.S. Marshals Service and the U.S. State Department to recover the children. Investigators say they initially tracked the children to Denver, Colorado, then London, England, then to an island in the English Channel and finally to a remote fishing village in Iceland.

According to a release from U.S. Marshals, the children, ages 8 and 9, from Canton, were reported missing in October by a family member.

The U.S. Marshals Service in Northern Ohio, along with the Canton Police Department and U.S. State Department, found two missing children in Reykjavik, Iceland, on Jan. 10, according to U.S. Marshals.

A pair of young siblings were found living in Iceland months after they seemingly disappeared from Ohio late last year.

Aged 8 and 9, the children were taken by their mother from Ohio to the Nordic island nation after abandoning her home in Canton.

The collaboration of effort in this case can’t be overstated. The ability to respond and recover these children abroad is an extremely difficult task.'

More details have emerged in the case of a Canton woman who took her two children to Iceland, including that she was stopped at the Canadian border.

The draw to Europe in the summer may be strong, but winter tends to be even better — particularly for travelers who don’t fare well in the heat or in large crowds. Apart from the peak holiday season, most cities in Europe tend to free up from tourists during the winter.
