It is unclear if the two children found were the ones reported missing.
The Wisconsin State Crime Lab, Juneau County Sheriff’s Office and Monroe County Sheriff’s Department processed the home.
Thew has been identified as the person of interest, according to police. He is wanted by Wisconsin Probation and Parol and should be considered “armed and dangerous.”

He has been in and out of jail nearly every year since 1995 and was paroled in 2012, according to records.
