‘They will have to refuel A LOT! Please pay attention to the road, the ditches, and the gas stations. “The families are very worried,” he said.
Amarillo police released photos of Edlund, a 5-foot-10 white teen with long brown hair, and Wyrick, a 6-foot-2 white teen with short brown hair.
“This particular threat does not mention any particular daycare in the Amarillo area, nor any other city, it only cites Texas,” the department said.
“However, we understand that this information may cause concern and we want to assure the community that we are taking all necessary precautions.”
‘We are using information from Wyoming to track the subjects and have discovered that there is currently no direct threat in our city.
“We will continue to monitor the situation and update with new information.”
