Father Arrested After Missing Kids Found Safe | Savannah News

A frantic search for a missing father and his two daughters on the Ogeechee River ended peacefully—but with legal consequences. The 37-year-old, Joshua Bridges, was arrested for misdemeanor interference with custody after authorities found the kids safe at his home just before 1 a.m. The mother reported them missing after they’d gone camping; tensions flared when she tried to retrieve them, leading to a massive multi-agency search involving boats, drones, and aircraft. Bridges had turned off his phone, claiming exhaustion, and told deputies he’d arranged for a woman to pick them up. Though he’s the biological father, legal custody wasn’t established, and he was charged for not returning the children when requested. The mother was later notified and picked up her daughters.
