Gary Miller' s grandkids abducted, police say

DIAMOND BAR - The grandchildren of U.S. Rep. Gary Miller, R-Brea, were reported missing Monday night, officials said.

"There is an initial investigation going on,' Los Angeles County Sheriff's spokeswoman Dep. Aura Sierra said. "We're waiting for the lead detective to give us more details."

The three children, ages 8, and twin 6 year olds, were reported missing about 1:30 p.m Monday. One of the children is named Brian, officials said. A report indicated it was a parental kidnapping by a "non-custodial mother."

The parents of the children are divorced and there appears to be a custody battle between the two, sheriff's officials said.

Late Monday sheriff's officials had not issued an Amber alert and were unclear if an abduction or violation of a court order had taken place. The mother was identified as Jennifer De Jong also known as Jennifer Lopez, officials said.

Miller, 59, represents the 42nd Congressional District, which includes the communities of Diamond Bar, Brea, Chino and Chino Hills.
