Missing father and children found

A missing father and three children turned up in the Salem area, and the Oconee Sheriff’s Office announced the end to the search for David Augustus Mize and three children. Sheriff’s officers say Mize’s apprehension took place without incident Wednesday at a trailer on the Whitewater Falls Road. The 49-year old Mize was sent to jail and the children, who were in good shape, were being handed over to the Department of Social Services.  Mize is charged with custodial interference. The Sheriff’s Office expressed gratitude to the FBI and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for their help in the case.
