A spokesperson for the Lampasas County Sheriff's Office told 25 News on Wednesday night it's requesting the help of the U.S. Marshals Service to find Whitehead's three youngest children.
The AMBER Alert has been discontinued.

UPDATE (JULY 26)
The mother wanted in connection with Friday's AMBER Alert issued out of Kempner tells 25 News her children are safe.
"They're doing amazing," Kristine Whitehead, 35, said about her three young children. "They're thriving right now."
The mother said she was on her way to turn herself in to authorities in Lampasas County, but she claims that her children are in "imminent danger" from their father.
25 News did request an interview and statement from the children's father, but his attorney said both he and his client did not want to comment.
The Lampasas County Sheriff's Office said it would not respond to a request for information on the case or Whitehead's comments to turn herself into the department, until a spokesperson would return from vacation on Thursday.
Law enforcement did not say why it took 49 days from the alleged abduction for an AMBER alert to be issued Friday evening by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
25 News contacted a social media page connected to Whitehead, and she agreed to a virtual meeting from an undisclosed location.
She did not disclose her location to 25 News.
