We at Interstate275Florida.com are very grateful that Cole and Chase Haaken have been found and returned to their grandparents in Tampa safe and sound. We are very grateful to the law enforcement agencies in our area that helped facilitate the recovery and return of these young children home, especially the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office and the FBI. We are also very grateful to the U.S. State Department in the careful diplomatic dealings with the Government of Cuba in facilitating Cole and Chase Haaken's return to Tampa.
Moreover, we are also very grateful to the Government of Cuba in facilitating the return of Cole and Chase Haaken to Tampa and to American soil, despite the very minimal diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States and the fact that Cuba is not a signatory to The Hague Convention as well as Cuba's poor track record in returning foreign fugitives to justice.
As for Joshua and Sharyn Haaken, the former parents of Cole and Chase Haaken whose parental rights were terminated by the State of Louisiana, they are incarcerated in the Hillsborough County Jail facing extremely serious charges which have the potential of life imprisonment in the Florida Department of Corrections. May justice prevail as their cases progress through the Circuit Court of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit.
Once again, we are very grateful that Cole and Chase Haaken are back at home and safe. The AMBER Alert which was written when news of the abduction broke as you see below is being maintained as a historical archive. As such, this AMBER Alert has been deactivated by law enforcement once the children were in safe hands.
This AMBER Alert is being posted here on the Interstate 275 Florida Blog as a public service, especially due to the seriousness of the circumstances surrounding this alert.

According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Cole and Chase Haaken were last seen at the home of relatives located at 14000 Shady Shores Drive in Tampa. The two children are in the company of Joshua Haaken and Sharyn Haaken and are reported to be traveling in a 2006 GMC Sierra bearing Florida license plate U95KT.
Additionally, according to Tampa area media reports including the St. Petersburg Times and Bay News 9, both Cole and Chase Haaken were staying with relatives as the parents, Joshua and Sharyn Haaken, have had their parental rights terminated in Louisiana due to an incident that took place in Slidell last summer. The children were initially placed in foster care in Louisiana but were sent to live with relatives in Florida recently.
As the parents have been reported to be involved with anti-government activity and an attempt was made to abduct the children from the Louisiana foster home at gunpoint, the parents are considered armed and dangerous.
If you have seen or know the whereabouts of Cole and Chase Haaken, please by all means contact the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at (813) 247-8200 or by calling 911. If you have OnStar in your vehicle press the red OnStar emergency button and let the OnStar agent know that you have an AMBER Alert sighting so that you can be conferenced in with emergency services.
Let's bring Cole and Chase Haaken home safe and sound and bring the non-custodial parents who took these children to justice.
Again, this AMBER Alert is being brought to you here on the Interstate 275 Florida Blog as a public service, especially due to the seriousness of the circumstances surrounding this AMBER Alert.
