Missing Gelderland family found in Germany

The seven-person family missing since Sunday from Doorwerth, Gelderland was found in Germany. The whole family, including all five children from newborn to 10-year-old, is in good health, police reports. The family were found in Gronau, just across the Dutch-German border from Enschede, Overijssel. After the family was reported missing, their house was searched. Photographs taken at the scene gave the appearance of a violent burglary. Several windows were broken, the couch was slashed, feathers were strewn everywhere and boards were loose, reports Omroep Brabant. The children were given a farewell party at school on the this past Friday, as the family said they were moving to the United states to live and work there. https://twitter.com/ThomasWustman/status/574945724393197568
