The family of missing Aurora and Joshua Bolton, who are the subject of a constant Amber Alert, wrote a letter to explain the hole that has remained in their lives.
“Our family would like to share with you the love and joy that Aurora and Joshua bring into our lives every day. “They are so much more than missing children, more than just a few pictures,” the family wrote.
“The love they share with their older sisters and brother is beyond beautiful and the impact on their siblings is so devastating. They love the time they spend playing with them, loving them and teasing them, it’s a very big part of their World.”

Surrey RCMP issued the alert last Wednesday after 45-year-old Verity Bolton failed to return her two children, eight-year-old Aurora Bolton and 10-year-old Joshuah Bolton, to their father at the end of a planned holiday.
They are also believed to be in the company of Verity’s father, Robert Bolton, and her boyfriend, Abraxas Glazov.
The family says in the letter that the brothers and sisters are very close to their entire extended family. They both love family picnics, popcorn movie nights, making slime, playing pranks, water fights, game meetings and birthday parties.
“At home, Joshua likes to help with the cooking, but not the dishes,” the letter reads. “He likes to spend time playing online games, chatting with his best friends (but will take everything out for a walk with his stepmother). He will run down from his room in the middle of the game for a give a hug & A Kiss and share a silly video, or a ‘laughing’ fart joke.”

“Aurora is the sweetest girl and she’s also an amazing helper. Always keeping yourself busy with crafts, trying new things and creating. We have a dance party with her before bed, so she brushes her teeth for more than 30 seconds, then takes a special pre-bedtime ritual of hugs and kisses. Both kids love a good scratch-back before bed and we take this time to chat and connect with them one-on-one. They share their day, their sorrows, their questions with us, and then go to bed with a good hug and kiss.”
Investigators now believe the parental kidnapping of Aurora and Joshuah was planned in advance, police said.
“This information supports that Verity Bolton, Robert Bolton, Abraxas Glazov have been moved ‘off-grid’ with the children and are believed to be living in trailers somewhere in a rural area,” police said in a news release.
There have been confirmed observations on Kelosiblna, Merritt and Kamloops.
Police said they have received more than 180 tips, however, there has not been a confirmed sighting of Aurora or Joshuah since July 7 when they were spotted at a gas station in Merritt.
“Their home, routine, friends, best friends, many cousins, aunts, uncles and great parents miss them more than can be expressed,” the letter said.
“They are loved so much, so much and so much missed.”
