Iredell County authorities said late Wednesday morning that two Mooresville sisters missing for a week have been found in Tennessee and are OK.
The girls – Keara Hess, 12, who is 8 1/2 months pregnant, and Sierra Hess, 11 – are being taken to a hospital for a medical checkup. The Iredell County Sheriff's Office did not have information on the health of Keara's unborn baby.
According to police, the sisters were found with their adoptive father, Matthew Hess. They were found during a traffic stop, according to several reports.
Authorities had issued an Amber Alert on Tuesday evening for the two girls. The girls were last seen last Wednesday. Police say Hess left a note with his estranged wife, Jeanette Hess, saying he was taking Sierra to school on Thursday. Jeanette Hess contacted police when Keara failed to show for a doctor's appointment last week.
In issuing the Amber Alert, police listed Tennessee as one of the places where Matthew Hess might have been taking the two girls.
The contents of the video below are a combination of news clips about a Missing Child Project In NC. The missing child Asha Degree, is Black.
Its no secret that in most cases NC Law Enforcement officials don't do all they possibly can to help find missing or exploited Black Children in a timely manner, especially when those children are in Foster Care. Yet the state's Leaders have remained silent on this issue.
In fact Minority Children who reside in North Carolina, mainly Foster Care children are often poorly educated, live in poverty, frequently sexually/ physically abused by both biological and foster care parents and killed. The murderers of these children are also rarely prosecuted.
Why haven't NC Leaders stopped this tragedy?
Foster Care Children are one of the state's biggest sources of Federal Funding.
Its a horrible racket!!
Looks like Federal Investigators (from DC) including the FBI needs to pay a little visit to North Carolina. Perhaps then state officials/ leaders will begin cooperating and stop allowing these children to be mistreated or killed like dogs.
An Amber Alert has been issued for a pregnant 12-year-old and her younger sister from Mooresville.
Police said they issued the alert because the pregnant sister missed an appointment last week for an important medical procedure, and now her health could be at risk.
The Iredell County Sheriff's Office says Keara Hess, 12, and Sierra Hess, 11, have been missing since last Wednesday.
The girls are believed to be with their adoptive father, Matthew Hess.
"We hope when we find them we get a lot of questions answered," said Lt. Julie Gibson with the Iredell County Sheriff's Department.
Investigators say Hess left his estranged wife a note saying that he was taking Sierra to Lakeshore Middle School. The wife became suspicious when Keara didn't make it to her doctor's appointment.
"Since Thursday it's been hell," said Jeanette Hess, the girls' mother.
Keara is 8 1/2 months pregnant and needs a medical procedure to protect her child.
"There are some things we've heard from her physician that makes us very concerned. The baby needs medical attention right away," said Gibson.
Hess and the girls haven't been seen since last Wednesday night.
"He didn't pack to stay away for an extended period of time," Gibson said. "He's the girls' legal father."
This story has attracted national attention. Deputies are thankful for that because time may be running out for Keara's baby. Phone calls have come in from all over the East Coast.
"Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Stokes County, N.C., Wadesboro -- so we really don't have much of a direction. We're just trying to blanket as much as we can," Gibson said.
Investigators think Matthew Hess may be driving a brown or tan 1993 Ford Explorer with N.C. license plate YTE-8014. The back right passenger window is broken out and is covered with Plexiglass, which is duct-taped in place.
Anyone who sees Hess or the girls should call the Iredell County Sheriff's Office at 704-878-3100.

NOTE TO ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS, APPOINTED OFFICIALS & PUBLIC FIGURES:
Per the Landmark U.S. Supreme Court Case: 1964 case of New York Times v. Sullivan………
The Public has a Right to Criticize the People who Govern them, so the least Protection from Defamation is given to Public Officials. When officials are accused of something that involves their behavior in office, they have to prove all of the above elements of defamation and they must also prove that the defendant acted with “actual malice.” (For a definition of actual malice, see the “History of Defamation and the First Amendment, below.”)
People who aren’t Elected but who are Still Public Figures because they are influential or famous — like Actors, Actresses, Movie Stars, Singers & Entertainers, Journalists, TV Hosts, Bloggers, etc., — also have to Prove that Defamatory statements were made with Actual Malice, in most cases.
