Police believe the children probably are with their mother, but want to find them to make sure they are safe. Officers were called to a home on Peachwood Court shortly after midnight on Easter when a woman who had been caring for her friend’s three children noticed the kids were missing, said Medford police Lt. Mike Moran. The youngsters, Nicole B. Rouse, 9; Ciera R. Rouse, 8; and Alicia A. Spencer, 3, were watching television in the living room while the baby sitter’s husband slept on the couch, a police report said. The sitter left the room for about 15 minutes and when she returned, the girls were gone. Her sleeping husband hadn’t seen or heard anything. None of the girls’ clothes or other belongings were taken from the sitter’s home. Police have focused on finding the girls’ mother, Betty Jean Rouse, a 38-year-old woman who might live in Portland. She has full custody of the children, Moran said. Advertisement Police are seeking Rouse to interview her as part of a separate investigation, so she might be avoiding law officers, Moran said. Anyone with information on the location of Rouse or her children is asked to call Medford police at 770-4783.
