Utah Mom Accused of Kidnapping Her Children and Taking Them To Europe Has Been Arrested

Security footage from the Salt Lake City International Airport shows the moment a Utah mother boarded a flight to Europe in November 2025. The mother of four, who was accused of kidnapping her four children and taking them to Europe because she was convinced the world was ending, has been arrested after the kids were found dumped in an orphanage. Elleshia Anne Seymour, 35, was arrested in Croatia, the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office confirmed to Fox 13 on Monday, almost two months after the doomsday mom allegedly absconded with the children. Her ex-husband, Kendall Seymour, has flown to Europe to rescue his kids — who are there with another American child also taken with them, he wrote in an update on his fundraiser on Sunday.
