FOND DU LAC COUNTY, Wis. (NBC 26) — UPDATE at 11:30am:
The Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office says Jordan and Serenity have been located safe at an address in the city of Fond du Lac.
Sheriff Ryan Waldschmidt and Lamartine Fire Chief Joe Birschbach say they extend sincere appreciation to the more than 100 emergency personnel from multiple agencies who participated in the search for Jordan and Serenity, and also thank all of the citizens who provided tips and information.
"There were a lot of assets and a lot of these people it should be noted are volunteers," Birschbach said. "They're not getting paid to be out here this dreary, cold Friday morning. These are guys and gals that have other jobs and other responsibilities and spent the vast majority of this morning out here and we can't thank them enough."
The circumstances surrounding the crash and what occurred after are being investigated by the sheriff’s office, which says no other information can be released at this time.
