Both Bay County teens have been found in Jacksonville, Florida, nearly a month after they disappeared.
Christian “Chris” Roe, 15 of Auburn, and Olivia Kean, 14 of Midland, were located in Jacksonville about 1 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 13, said Bay County Undersheriff Troy Cunningham. They both were taken into police custody there.
Christian’s mother, Kari Roe-LaFramboise, her husband Joe LaFramboise, and Christian’s father, Jay Roe, left for Jacksonville on Tuesday night after receiving a call from Christian asking them to come get him.

He had said at the time he was no longer with Olivia, but authorities and his parents discovered Thursday that they still were together.
“It was crazy,” said Roe-LaFramboise as they drove north near the Florida-Georgia border at about 4:25 p.m. Thursday. “We were walking up and down every road downtown, handing out flyers to every single person. People kept telling us where to go and they were about two blocks from us.”
Christian called his dad’s cellphone and said he was with police. After a couple of hours, the police released Christian into his parents’ care, Roe-LaFramboise said.
The parents kept searching the area for Olivia, with Joe LaFramboise eventually spotting her walking. She was taken into police custody, where she remains, Cunningham said. The undersheriff added he didn’t know if any criminal charges were forthcoming.
The teens disappeared Wednesday, Oct. 15. Police have said they took Olivia’s family’s 2002 Dodge Ram pickup truck with Michigan license plate number WLP50.
Roe-LaFramboise said that Christian and Olivia were living out of the a truck in Florida for about three weeks.
“I’m just happy this is all over now,” Roe-LaFramboise said.
The Times was unable to reach Olivia’s mother, Katrina Kean.
Olivia had been on probation prior to her disappearance and severed an electronic tether before leaving, police have said.
