It is unclear if the two children found were the ones reported missing.

The Wisconsin State Crime Lab, Juneau County Sheriff’s Office and Monroe County Sheriff’s Department processed the home. 

Thew has been identified as the person of interest, according to police. He is wanted by Wisconsin Probation and Parol and should be considered “armed and dangerous.”

Parole records show he is currently on active community supervision. Thew has been convicted of committing a dozen felonies, including possessing a gun as a felon, burglary and theft.

He has been in and out of jail nearly every year since 1995 and was paroled in 2012, according to records.

“If seen, do not confront or approach him,” authorities wrote in a statement.

Thew is 5-foot-10, weighs 150 pounds, and was last seen wearing a dark-colored down coat, blue jeans and a hat.

The Juneau County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News Digital Tuesday afternoon it will not be making any statements about the case.
