PARK TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Michelle Olszewski was found in St. Louis on Saturday, 2 days after she and her 3 children disappeared from the Holland-area. All are now in protective custody.
According to investigators, 50-year-old Michelle Lynn Olszewski removed her 14-year-old, 10-year-old, and 8-year-old children from school on April 30, 2025, and left the state of Michigan.
Olszewski's rental car and belongings were later found at a hotel in Indiana, according to the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office.
