Missing Kids, Fugitive Mom Sought By Cops In California

Jennifer Dejongh

In 2007, police say 30-year-old Jennifer Dejongh was embroiled in a custody battle with the father of her children, Brian Miller.  Miller -- the son of California Rep. Gary Miller -- and Dejongh had three children together: 9-year-old Brian, and 6-year-old twins Christian and Evan.

In November 2007, police say Dejongh, upset by a court notice indicating that the congressman was seeking increased custodial rights, skipped town with her three children in tow. Dejongh, who also goes by her maiden name, Jennifer Lopez, didn't have custody of the kids.

In fact, police say that Dejongh had previously agreed to allowing the Miller family to have a 90-day family reunification, which the judge on the case also agreed to.

Police tell AMW that Dejongh was supposed to drop Brian, Christian, and Evan off at Miller's home on November 17, 2007, for an extended visit, but she never showed.  When it seemed apparent that Dejongh and the children weren't going to appear at the agreed-upon location, investigators were called in.

Cops say the children are believed to be safe with Dejongh, so an AMBER Alert was never issued for the kidnapped children. Police tell us Dejongh and the missing Miller children may be hiding out on the East Coast, or may have fled to Mexico.  The boys may now have dyed their hair black, or could have shaved heads or crew cuts.
