Police say two missing Fayetteville children along with their mother have been found safe

Family members and police believed that 8-year-old Dwight Clarke III and his 9-month-old brother, Sebastien Hagler, were possibly with their mother, Joleah McMillan.

WRAL spoke to family members on Saturday as the search for the boys and their mother continued.

Dwight Clarke, grandfather of Clarke III, says he can't believe any of it was happening.

"We were shocked," Clarke said. "The whole family was shocked, we didn't know what was going on."

Family members said McMillan lives at a home on Stonewood Drive in Fayetteville, but when WRAL's Aaron Thomas stopped by the home, no one answered the door.

Dwight Clark Jr. is Clark III's father, and he believes McMillan was purposely trying to keep their son away from him.

"I talked to him like three days ago on the phone for a brief minute," Clark Jr. said. "She said she had an important call coming in. (It's) more important to talk to my son. Every time I call, she's got an important call coming in."

Clark Jr. said Saturday he was keeping the faith that the two boys will be found safe.

"I'm just going to leave it in God's hands," Clark Jr. said. "I'm going to let everybody do their job, and I'm going to have faith my son will come home soon."
