Three Lebanon kids abducted

http://media.kval.com/designimages/fisher_videoicon.gif Video

LEBANON - Three kids have been abducted from their Lebanon home. Police say their non-custodial parents are the primary suspects.

According to Lebanon Police, 29-year-old Charles Agosto and 30-year-old Julia Payne took their three kids from a home in Lebanon early Saturday morning. The kids are 9-year-old Saije Payne and her two brothers, 4-year-old Izaya and 2-year old Isacc.

Police believe they may be driving a 1984 2-door black Cadillac El Dorado with the license plate number ZXN-447. If you see the car, police are asking you call 911.

Neighbors say they're shocked.

"I never thought something like this would happen," said neighbor Henri Ramirez.

But, no one heard anything.

"I didn't see any police cars here at that time of day," said John Zurcher.

Agosto and Payne recently lost custody their three kids. The kids have been temporarily living with their grandparent's at 800 Harrison Street in Lebanon. The dance studio attached is also owned by an Agosto. We couldn't confirm if it was a family member. At one a-m on Saturday, police say Agosto and Payne came to get their kids back. Nobody has seen any of them since.

We walked up to the door to see if anybody would talk to us. An older man answered it. He told us he's leaving the investigation up to police.

Lebanon Police say they can't figure out where they might have been headed. Sergeant Kevin Martinez tells us there have been reports the couple could be driving to Reno, to California, or, he wouldn't be surprised if they even stayed close to home.

He says both Agosto and Payne have been involved with drugs in the past. Agosto was in jail as recently as Friday, for allegedly violating a restraining order against Payne.

Police don't believe Payne is being held against her will.

And until the kids are home safe, neighbors and police say they're just hoping for the best.

"It's only going to benefit them to bring the children back," said Martinez.

No Amber Alert was ever issued. Sergeant Martinez says the case didn't meat the criteria because at this point, it doesn't appear the kids are in imminent danger.

Charles goes by the name Chuck.

Both parents have been involved in drugs in the past.

[Roamer]

Not in imminent danger? Their parents are druggies who have a history of domestic violence and lost custody to the state. If that's not imminent danger, what qualifies???

AMW Missing DATA FILE FOR

Saije Payne and Isacc Payne

According to cops in Lebanon, Ore., 29-year-old Charles Agosto and 30-year-old Julia Payne's relationship has weathered drug use and bouts of domestic violence.

Recently, the sometimes-transient couple had their three children, Isacc, Saije, and Izaya, taken from them by Child Protective Services, and the three Payne children were placed under the care of Charles' parents. But in the dead of night on May 3, 2008, police believe that Julia and Charles put an end to that arrangement.

Cops say it was around 1:30 a.m. when the couple appeared at the home on Harrison Street to collect their children, just hours after Agosto was released from jail for allegedly violating a restraining order against Julia. Now, authorities say that the couple are on the run, and they could be in the Oregon communities of Corvalis, Albany, Portland, Olympia, or hiding out along the Oregon coast. The pair may have also have fled to California or Nevada.

Isacc Agosto Payne, 2, Izaya Agosto Payne, 4, and their sister, Saije Payne, 9, are not believed to be in immediate danger, so police have held off on issuing an AMBER Alert. They also say that there's no indication that Julia is being held against her will.

Charles Agosto is described as a white male, 5'9", 170 lbs., with brown hair and hazel eyes. Julia Payne is described as a white female, 5'4", 140 lbs., with blond shoulder-length hair, and blue eyes. Police say that the family may be traveling in a black, 2-door, 1984 Cadillac Eldorado with Oregon license plate ZXN447.

I would think that Cadillac Eldorado is a gas guzzler. I do not believe they have gone far with the price of gas nowdays.

I hope these children are safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you're exactly right on the gas guzzling part, Faith.

Surly someone has seen these children....

[Faith]

It's hard to believe these children haven't been located.

[Roenick]

I hadn't even heard about it. Lebannon is about 45 mins south of me.

How did they just go in the house and take the kids? Sorry but the state needs to start placing children in this type situation with someone other than family or grandparents. Because if I were a foster or temp housing and a parent that lost their kids showed up, especially at 1 am, I'd call the cops and they'd get a bullet before taking the kids or getting in the door.

Unless they changed cars, saved money (rolleyes) or the grandparents gave them money they most likely aren't traveling far. As with other cases like this they are hiding out in the woods.

LAS VEGAS - Police responding to a report of a theft at a store discovered the suspect was wanted in Oregon in connection with the abduction of his own children from protective state custody.

Las Vegas Metro Police arrested Charles Agosto on a warrant out of Oregon after responding to a K-Mart store to investigate a possible theft. A records check on Agosto revealed he was wanted in Oregon as well as in Nevada.

Police later located Julia Payne and thre three children: Saije Payne, 9; Izaya Payne, 4; and Isaac Payne, 2.

The state of Oregon took the three children into temporary protective custody and placed them with a grandparent in Lebanon.
