Adam Price was located in Pacifica, Calif., late Sunday — hours after his 5-year-old daughter, Emily Price, and 3-year-old son, Theodore Price, were discovered dead in his residence in Bellevue.

According to a statement from Bellevue Police, officers were dispatched to Price’s home twice over the weekend — once on Saturday evening, and again on Sunday morning, just before 9 a.m.

The children’s mother, who lives in Illinois, had asked Bellevue police to check on their welfare after she was unable to reach them or their father.

Police were called to the home a third time, just after 11 a.m. on Sunday, after someone found the children’s bodies.

The statement does not say who found the siblings, or how they died.

Investigators immediately started searching for Price.
