GLOUCESTER TWP. -- Police said that the father and his two children who were reported missing Monday have been found safe.

Raymond Reasoner III, 40, his daughter Raegan, 1, and son Raymond IV, 3, were all reported missing from a home on Church Street in the Blackwood section of the township Monday afternoon. Authorities originally said they had concerns for their safety.

Gloucester Township police said in a release Tuesday night that Reasoner and his children were out of the state when they were found. Police said the children were safe and no charges will be filed.

Reasoner's niece, Samantha Reasoner, said Wednesday that Reasoner apparently decided to take a vacation with his children. But he failed to tell the people he lives with, his uncle and two nieces, so they were worried when he disappeared.

"I am just grateful to know that my cousins and uncle are safe and for now that's all I can ask for," Samantha Reasoner said.

She thanked everyone who shared their photos and worked on the investigation.

"A serious, serious thank you to the Gloucester Township Police," she said. "They were very timely with all of their efforts in finding my family, and my family and I are forever grateful."

Gloucester Township police said they worked with the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force Camden Division, Federal Bureau of Investigations Field Offices of Philadelphia and Washington D.C., police in Washington, D.C., and the Camden County prosecutor's office.

The National Center For Missing and Exploited Children and A Child Is Missing also assisted in getting the word out, police said.
