"Polk County Sheriff Scott Sawyer says Chad Bigley Voelkel,38, was arrested on January 3 for rape. Officials say Chad Voelkel posted a $50,000 bond and was awaiting his trial on May 23.

The sheriff says DHS removed all six of the Voelkel children, but after a hearing, four of the children were returned to their mother, Stephanie Voelkel, 39, with the understanding that Chad Voelkel was not allowed to live at the home.

The sheriff says on or around May 23, Chad and Stephanie Voelkel, along with the four children, went on the run.

Chad Voelkel faces a felony Failure to Appear charge, and Stephanie Voelkel faces a felony Permitting Abuse of a Minor charge."

And what about the two kids who weren't returned? That seems odd. Were they teen or tween girls? Were they the rape victims? Whose arm is that in the left side of the family photo? Looks like a teen girl arm to me.
 
The two youngest don't look right.

The 5 year old has Down Syndrome.

Also, I stalked their FB, found the uncropped family photo, and there are indeed two teen daughters. One would be 18 now, the other a few years younger. I'm guessing that the 18 year old was not returned with the other kids because she is an adult, and the younger teen girl was not returned with the other kids because she is the victim the father is accused of raping.
 
What I don't understand is why they gave the younger 4 back to them? He has already molested at least one of the older ones and yet they see fit to give 2 small girls back to his wife who pinky promised she wouldn't let him near them. Best to err on the safe side and hold onto the kids until he's sentenced and gone. Even without him around the girls being with just her is not a guarantee that they're safe.
 
Scantling added that this is not like her twin sister and that she cares for her children deeply.

Jury’s out on that one, sis.

law enforcement believes the children with Chad and Stephanie are in danger.

“To be honest, I don't think they are because she wouldn't let anything happen to them,

Ummmmmm she didn't stop him from molesting the older girl/s. So now that they are running and no one can see what they're doing, what's to stop him?

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshals Service in the Western District of Arkansas announce the arrest of Chad and Stephanie Voelkel in Manitoba, Canada on Wednesday afternoon.

Chad Voelkel was wanted in Polk County for failure to appear on the charge of Rape.

Stephanie Voelkel was arrested on the charge of Permitting Abuse of a Minor.

Four minor children, all considered endangered, were recovered and are now safe in the custody of Canadian Officials.

On May 23rd, 2019, a warrant was issued for Chad Voelkel on the charge of failure to appear. Voelkel had been out on bond pending his court date after he was originally charged with Rape on or about January 3rd, 2019 in the Circuit Court of Polk County.

When Voelkel failed to appear for his court appearance, Polk County Sheriff’s Deputies immediately began a search. The search and investigation for Voelkel by Sheriff’s Deputies determined that Voelkel had fled the area. The investigation also revealed that Stephanie Voelkel and their four minor children had also disappeared.

Soon after the disappearance of Chad and Stephanie Voelkel and their four minor children, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshals Service began working together to locate the missing children and arrest Chad and Stephanie Voelkel.

Early in the investigation, it appeared that the husband and wife fugitives had fled the area and had taken their four minor children to Canada. Polk County Deputies and Deputy US Marshals continued to investigate the whereabouts of the Voelkel’s and their four children.

In recent days it was determined through investigation that the Voelkel’s were in the Portage la Prairie area of Manitoba, Canada. The information from the investigation was relayed to Canadian officials including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA).
 
Chad Bigley Voelkel, age 40, was sentenced to 31 years in the Arkansas Department of Corrections after entering a plea of guilty to Rape and Failure to Appear in Polk County Circuit Court on Monday September 14, 2020.

Stephanie D. Voelkel, age 41, pled guilty to Permitting Abuse of a Minor in June 2020. She was sentenced to 15 years in the Arkansas Department of Corrections.


The Voelkel’s were the target of an international manhunt when they fled Polk County in May of 2019 with four of their children just days before Chad Voelkel was scheduled for trial for rape.
