Lt. Ed Gritzner of Lake Geneva police told FoxNews.com that Michalene Melges and her sons were first spotted by a person who recognized the family from news reports. Authorities from Lake Geneva contacted police in Savannah, who were able to positively identify the family.
"I can confirm that they are safe and sound," Gritzner said.
The Chicago Tribune reported that Melges, 40, had called her sons’ school earlier this month and asked administrators that her sons be excused from May 10 through 13.
