The Boulder Police Department said the woman and her two children who “abruptly disappeared” from their north Boulder home Wednesday night have been found safe.

Boulder police were called about 10 p.m. Wednesday after Laura A. McCall, 40, and her 7-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son went missing; they were last heard from about 6 p.m.

At about 8 a.m. Thursday, Lafayette police found the children inside their mother’s vehicle in Lafayette. McCall was found nearby a short time later.

After further investigation by Boulder and Lafayette police, McCall was arrested on investigation of two misdemeanor counts of child abuse, Boulder police said in a news release. McCall was taken to the Boulder County Jail and the children have been reunited with their father.
