The police department said they believe the children were dropped off somewhere in Southern California as they work closely with the CHP.
The CHP alert labeled Camron Lee, 38, as the suspect in the endangered missing advisory.
The police department said it's not labeling Camron as a suspect, but he remains a person of interest they want to speak with to help locate the children.
On Wednesday, police said Camron's vehicle, a 2023 Honda Pilot, crossed into Mexico.
Barvo's family spoke with CBS Sacramento and said they are "shattered" and want Matreo and Athena back.
Bravo's death remains under investigation and police have not called it a homicide as they focus on locating the children.

In order for an Endangered Missing Advisory to be issued, a situation must meet these three requirements:
