The White County Sheriff's Department says two 11 year-old boys who went missing Wednesday day were found alive around 1am Thursday morning.

The boys were last seen at a church in Rose Bud.  Deputies and community members searched on foot while a helicopter searched from the air. 

The Rose Bud Police Chief says it looks like the two boys left the church without telling anyone and found a place to hide. He did not release any other information about where the boys were found or their condition but the boys were released into the custody of their parents.
