According to a Yahoo News report, the incident happened inside Cadenbach’s car near Cliff Cave County Park on Saturday. According to Lt. Col.

Earlier in the day, Christopher had spent time with both his sons and their mother at a park. By evening, the family returned to a home in the 300 block of Rauhut in south St. Louis County. After that, Cadenbach reportedly forcibly took the mother’s car along with the kids and drove off. After the children were taken away from her, the mother contacted the police, who in turn issued an Amber Alert. The alert also included the description of the vehicle in which Cadenbach and the two kids were in.
