WICHITA— Law enforcement authorities in Sedgwick County and across Kansas continue to search for David Earl Hatcher, the father of 2 girls involved in a state-wide Amber Alert on Wednesday.

Police say that Hatcher crashed into a room at a Wichita Days Inn around 1 a.m. Wednesday after arguing with his girlfriend on the phone and then abducting the children.

The 5- and 2-year-old girls were located shortly before 11:30 a.m. Wednesday at a Wichita home. They were not injured.

The vehicle used in the abduction was found abandoned around noon, according to police.

Hatcher was last seen wearing black jeans, black hoodie, and black shoes, according to the KBI.
