Local 10 News reporter Hatzel Vela finds missing Davie brothers

Brothers run away from home after argument with mother

SUNRISE, Fla. – A Local 10 News reporter found three missing brothers from Davie while driving on the Sawgrass Expressway.

Jon Probus, 11, Kyle Heggie, 14, and Zachary Probus, 10, were reported missing Tuesday. Davie police said they disappeared from their home on Southwest 115th Way about 5 p.m. Monday.

Local 10 News reporter Hatzel Vela said he was traveling back from Davie with his photojournalist, Ismael Louis, when they noticed one of the boys walking along the highway.

Vela and Louis pulled into the parking lot of the BB&T Center and approached the boys, who admitted to getting lost and knew people were looking for them.

The oldest boy, Kyle, said they ran away from home after getting into an argument with their mother.

Vela handed the boys his cellphone and had them call their mother, who came to pick up her sons.

"I'm happy they're OK," Jessica Hedrick told Local 10. "I'm angry. I'm sad. I'm happy. But clearly there's things we have to work on."

Hedrick told Vela she had been concerned about her youngest son, who has asthma and was without his inhaler.
