Martha Unger and her daughters, 2-year-old Madilynn Grace Unger and 1-year-old Haylie Faith Unger, were reported missing from their home in rural Haskell County, Kan., on Friday, June 28, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation previously said.
During the initial stages of the missing persons investigation, the KBI said they believed Martha and her daughters had possibly “been coerced to travel to Mexico to a religious rehabilitation facility.”
On Monday, the Haskell County Sheriff’s Office said they had located Martha and “verified her safety and the safety of her daughters,” per an updated statement by the KBI.

Authorities previously alleged a couple in their 50s had been with Martha and her children at the time of their disappearance, but did not provide any further information about them in Monday's update.
The KBI said the "endangered persons advisory" for Martha and her children was canceled, but it wasn't immediately clear if an investigation is still ongoing.
PEOPLE has reached out to the KBI and the Haskell County Sheriff's Office for further information.
