Missing Flagstaff couple found in Utah, search called off. Monday night, a state trooper from Utah called Ann Marie Zeller to tell her that her daughter, who had been declared missing since August 12, was found safe along with her fiancé during a traffic stop. So, Tuesday morning, the Flagstaff Police Department published a post on their Facebook page calling off the search for Lyla Zeller and Jacob Flynn.

Zeller attended Flagstaff Arts and Leadership Academy, and she and Flynn are Flagstaff locals. The two were last seen in Flagstaff when they dropped off their two young sons with Eric Wood. Wood and Zeller share a son, Sam; Wood has been taking care of Sam and Flynn’s 6-year-old son Felix since the pair disappeared last month.

Friends that had been worried led a search effort at the “End of the World,” a camping area off of Woody Mountain Road. The person who spearheaded the search has since learned the pair was found unharmed.

Lyla’s mother said right now friends and family don’t know much more than the fact that the pair were stopped by a state trooper in “good health.”

“We feel better,” Ann Marie said. “They’ve been through so much. It’s kind of unbelievable. Maybe they just needed to do things different. They’ve been through a lot these last few months and they never complain.”

The boys are still with Wood, as far as Ann Marie knows.

“Eric has done such a great job,” she said. “The kids have been doing a great job.”

As to WHY the couple would disappear to Utah for 5 weeks without a word is still unknown to family, friends and law enforcement. No official charges are being filed. Child abandonment is a serious offense in Arizona, but no word whether the couple will face charges just yet.
