Utah mom who believed in ‘end of times’ is arrested over taking kids to Croatia
Elleshia Seymour faces four counts of custodial interference after fleeing Utah with her children due to apocalyptic fears; the kids remain in Croatian state care, authorities said.
- Elleshia Anne Seymour was charged on December 16, 2025, after authorities located the four children in a state-run orphanage in Croatia, following a father's report.
- Late November, 2025, surveillance shows Seymour and her four children boarding a one-way flight to Amsterdam from Salt Lake City International Airport.
- Family members say the children’s center has mold and limited supervision, with the children—Landon , Levi , Hazel and Jacob —often left unattended except at mealtimes.
- Elleshia Seymour was arrested on Jan. 15 in Dubrovnik, and Croatian police hold the children at the children’s center until U.S. custody documents are verified while the family prepares Hague Convention applications with a six-week decision window.
- A GoFundMe has raised over $35,000 toward a $100,000 goal after a German attorney and an FBI member helped locate the children in Croatia, Kendall Seymour said.
