Father of abducted children breaks his silence after eerie video emerges showing his children being boarded on international flight
Kendall Seymour, a father of three abducted children, has said he he did not know that their mother, Elleshia Anne Seymour, 35, was planning to take them to Europe.
A father of three abducted children has shared how shocked he was when their mother was caught on surveillance footage boarding an international flight with them in tow to flee the 'end times.'
Kendall Seymour said he had no idea his ex-wife, Elleshia Anne Seymour, had been planning to take their children to Europe until two days after she was spotted leading them through a terminal at Salt Lake City International Airport on November 30.
'I didn't know about any of these ideas of hers until a couple of weeks ago when someone found her TikTok account,' Kendall told KSL-TV.
'She thinks Salt Lake is going to be destroyed and she is trying to get the kids to safety. My only hope is that she is motivated to protect them.'
He added: 'There were no signs of that when we were married or divorced in the last five years.'
The family - including fourth child from another relationship - was then spotted boarding a flight to Croatia, with a layover in Amsterdam, ABC 4 reports.
Elleshia had allegedly fled the country with her children because she believed the 'end times' were coming.
Investigators now say it does not seem as if Elleshia had any plans to return to the United States, claiming she obtained travel arrangements without Kendall or the other child's father's knowledge or consent, and left her vehicle at the airport.
She also allegedly left behind a 'to-do' list, including plans to shred documents and discard phones before fleeing the country, as well as a note 'depicting a delusional message from God promising her she would be in Italy by Christmas,' according to an online fundraiser.

Elleshia Anne Seymour, 35, is now facing charges of custodial interference and removing the children from the state
Kendall, who shares custody of Elleshia's eldest three children, said the last time he saw his children was between November 24 and 25, when he dropped them off at school at the start of their mother's scheduled custody time.
He said concerns were first raised days later, when a child care worker called asking why the children had not shown up for daycare.
