Ware was last known to be traveling with the children in a red Chrysler Town and Country minivan, and investigators believe she may be traveling toward Mexico.
She also has known ties to Cumberland County and Marion County, Tennessee, and the state of Georgia, CCSO said.
All six children have brown hair and brown eyes, and their clothing at the time of their disappearance is unknown, CCSO says. One of the missing siblings is nine months old.

- Felix Ware — 9 months old
Officials say that investigators are concerned for the sibling’s safety and welfare.
Authorities in Cumberland County urge the public to call 911 if you see the children or the car.
