Wisconsin authorities are searching for a convicted felon after two children and an adult were found dead.
The New Lisbon Police Department said a child went missing Sunday night and was last seen with Virgil G. Thew, 47.
On Monday morning, police learned another child was missing.
A few hours later, officials said two children and an adult were found dead inside a home on West Bridge Street.

Parole records reveal his current status under active community supervision. Thew has a criminal history that includes a dozen felony convictions such as being a felon in possession of a firearm, burglary, and theft.
He has been in and out of jail nearly every year since 1995 and was paroled in 2012, according to records.
“If seen, do not confront or approach him,” authorities wrote in a statement.
Thew is 5-foot-10, weighs 150 pounds, and was last seen wearing a dark-colored down coat, blue jeans and a hat.
The Juneau County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News Digital Tuesday afternoon it will not be making any statements about the case.
