FRISCO, Texas — A Texas mother reported as missing with her children for three days has been found dead in her car with the three children alive beside her.

Spokesman Benito Vasquez says her children — ages 1, 3 and 5 — were with her. They were examined at a hospital but appeared to be well.

Police spokesman Jeff Inmon says an autopsy will be conducted to determine how the woman died.

Woo’s husband reported Tuesday afternoon that his wife and children had been missing since Monday morning.
