had this in my gut from the first.

Isabel Celis' older brothers are now staying with only one of their parents and a relative, Tucson police said Friday.
The decision on the children's living arrangements was made after Child Protective Services met with the parents and Tucson police, said Lt. Fabian Pacheco, a Tucson Police Department spokesman.
Pacheco would not say which parent the boys were staying with, citing the ongoing investigation.
In a news release, Tucson police said detectives during the course of their investigation into the disappearance of Isabel became “aware of information regarding the welfare of the older Celis children.”
Isabel, 6, has two older brothers, Julian and Sergio.
The information, police said, was shared with CPS.
On Thursday CPS personnel met with detectives and the family at police headquarters. The state agency decided to put in place “certain measures to ensure the continued welfare of the Celis children,” the news release states.
CPS has since the beginning been involved in the investigation, which is common practice, police said.
The police news release said the department would not be releasing any more information.
Isabel was reported missing from her midtown home April 21. Tucson police have checked more than 1,000 tips in the investigation, which has cost the department more than $1 million.
CPS released a statement Friday, saying:
“The Department can confirm that CPS is working closely with law enforcement to ensure the continued safety of the children. At the present time, the children are not in CPS custody. The Department appreciates the community's support and understanding in protecting the privacy rights and safety needs for these children during this ongoing joint investigation.”
