Terran Butler was last seen in the Millcreek area on a court-supervised visit with his biological mother, Emily Jolley.

When Butler's father attempted to pick up his son from the visit, Jolley allegedly had taken the boy without consent. Unified police officers were called to the home of Emily Jolley's mother, Larain Jolley, Saturday night.

Officers asked Larain Jolley for consent to search the property to look for Terran and his mother, but were denied, according to an arrest affidavit. Officers received a search warrant for the property and arrested Larain Jolley.

The arrest affidavit says police searched Larain Jolley's phone and found messages between Larain, Emily, and another woman.

In the messages, Larain Jolley received instruction from the woman to tell the police that Emily had moved out days ago, the affidavit says. The messages between Emily and Larain Jolley said not to talk in the group text about "the thing we talked about on the group text," the police affidavit stated.

Larain Jolley refused to cooperate with detectives. Larain Jolley told detectives she knew the boy was safe and would not give any more information. Larain Jolley is now in the Salt Lake County Jail on a charge of obstruction of justice, a second-degree felony.

Unified Police are asking anyone who knows the whereabouts of Emily Jolley and Terran Butler to contact police.

Emily Jolley drives a blue 2008 Toyota Prius, Utah license plate E847GT. She is 43 years old, 5-foot, 8-inches tall, weighs 140 pounds, and has brown hair and blue eyes.

Terran Butler has brown hair and is wearing a blue shirt, black gym shorts, and black and blue hiking boots.

Police say Emily Jolley has ties to Washington State and may be headed in that direction.

Amber Alert Issued For 6-Year-Old Boy Reportedly Taken By His Mother

[...]

Unified Police Sgt. Melody Gray said the case on Sunday did not meet all five criteria because the family insisted Jolley “would never hurt him.”

However, after learning additional information bout Jolley, it was determined an Amber Alert should be issued.

“We believe she’s been premeditating this for months, if not years,” said Terran’s father, Timothy Butler. “She just saw this as the opportunity to run.”

[...]

He said he was involved in the most recent visit. He dropped Tarren off in Millcreek to be with his mother and the woman who was supervising the visit. Later that afternoon, though, Terran and Jolley were nowhere to be found.

“The supervisor, who we trusted, aided Emily in taking off and essentially abducting the child and leaving and didn’t notify me or anyone,” Timothy said.

The incident happened at the home of Emily Jolley’s mother, Lorraine.

Lorraine Jolley was later arrested for impeding a criminal investigation.

Father of missing 6-year-old says boy's mother is part of anti-government organization

Father of missing 6-year-old says boy's mother is part of anti-government organization

"At that visit, she pulled out some paperwork from this new government — whatever she belongs to — and had a 5-year-old sign his name, and she was getting a fingerprint basically relinquishing his rights as a U.S. citizen, is what this document had said,” she said."

No wonder she doesn't have custody. She sounds unstable. Hope he is found soon and gets returned to a normal environment.

Neighbor says mother in Utah Amber Alert case had talked about 'heading south' with boy

Emily Jolley’s mother, Larain Jolley, posted bail Monday. According to police, Larain Jolley, had communicated with her daughter, Emily, and another woman via text message about a plan to throw off police about Emily’s location. Larain Jolley refused to cooperate with investigators, but said she knew Terran was safe.

Emily Jolley is Terran Butler’s biological mother, but does not have custody of him. The custody visit was being supervised another woman. That woman told Terran's father that Terran was taken by armed men who came to the home during the visit. A Unified Police spokesperson later confirmed the woman told detectives the story about the armed men taking Terran was lie. Police indicated possible charges against the woman who was supervising the visit.

Terran's father said Emily Jolley subscribes to "sovereign citizen" ideology and does not believe laws apply to her.

The Daily Beast had covered a multi-part story that detailed a couple of cases of Qanon supporters and abducting their children and based on what is in the media reports this case will likely be similar to those in their reporting. There is a network of people Terran will be moving through until law enforcement tracks them down.

I do have a few people in mind that are connected in all of this.


ETA: Forgot to mention, one of the cases in the Daily Beast reporting was a case here on WebSleuths out of Kentucky last year.

I'm a little confused about the court ordered supervisor at the visit. She was a nanny they had hired before? Originally hired by the bio mom who doesn't have custody? Did she get arrested as well? Wasn't that supposed to be her job?

This doesn't sound good. Hopefully not in her harming him, but more that we never hear from the poor kid again. I hope they find him.

she was obviously in on it too, since she lied to the police
she should be arrested too, if she isn't already

We are happy to announce that Terran Butler has been safely located in Coos Bay, Oregon. Emily Jolley has been taken into custody. This is still an active investigation, so we are unable to release additional details, but wanted to inform the public, who has been extremely helpful in providing and sharing information in this case, that he has been found safe.
