It is unclear if the two children found were the ones reported missing.

The Juneau County Sheriff's Office, Monroe County Sheriff's Department, and Wisconsin State Crime Lab worked together to process the home.

According to police, the person of interest has been identified as Thew. He is wanted by Wisconsin Probation and Parol and should be considered "armed and dangerous."

He has been convicted of a dozen felonies, including possessing a gun as a felon, burglary, and theft, and is currently on active community supervision, according to parole records.

Since 1995, he has spent nearly every year in and out of jail, with a parole in 2012, as per records.

Authorities advised not to confront or approach him if seen.

The individual is 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 150 pounds, and was last seen wearing a dark-colored down coat, blue jeans, and a hat.

The Juneau County Sheriff's Office will not be issuing any statements regarding the case, as confirmed to Planet Chronicle Digital on Tuesday afternoon.
