MEREDITH, N.H. — Authorities were searching for a father and his two young children Friday after the children’s mother was found dead in a New Hampshire apartment.
Authorities issued an Amber Alert just after 4 a.m. for the abduction of 4-year-old Elowyn Duren and 1-year-old Vaelyn Duren from the city of Berlin.
Authorities said the father, Dusten Mark Duren, was possibly armed and dangerous and should not be approached. He was driving a white 2017 Subaru Impreza, which was last seen in the capital, Concord.
Duren, 37, was described as about 6 feet tall, weighing 180 pounds and with brown hair and brown eyes.
New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella said police responded to the Main St. apartment Thursday around 10:30 p.m., where they found the body of 31-year-old Caitlyn Naffziger.
Formella said in a news release that an autopsy is scheduled for Friday afternoon and that the death is suspicious. He said the children were last seen with their father in Berlin on Thursday around 8 p.m.
