Amber Alert for 2 Idaho children canceled after one week. Police no longer concerned

The Amber Alert issued for two Idaho children last week has been canceled, Idaho State Police said on Thursday.

The alert was issued June 4 for two missing Rathdrum children: a 6-year-old boy named Leo Isador Hiibel-Cloutier and 17-year-old Gene William Heckman. At the time, police were concerned for their safety because they were with their non-custodial mother, 35-year-old Mimi Hiibel.

On Thursday, police said they were no longer concerned and canceled the Amber Alert. Further information was not immediately released.
