NORMAN, Oklahoma -
Law enforcement
officials are on the hunt for three people accused of committing sex crimes
against a 13-year-old girl.
The suspects
skipped town just before deputies were about to arrest them. Police from
Oklahoma to Michigan are now on alert because the Cleveland County Sheriff's
Office believes the trio are headed to the Great Lakes State.
"It appears they
have abandoned their home," Cleveland County Sheriff's Office spokesperson
Meghan McCormick said. "They have all resigned from their different jobs."
Felony arrest
warrants have been issued for all three suspects. Deputies say Michelle Danae
Walker, 43, of Noble introduced a 13-year-old girl to Joseph Michael Siford, 40, and
Danyale Bernice Siford, 34, of Moore.
Officials say the three suspects had sex
in front of the girl and Danyale Siford encouraged the teen to engage in sexual
contact with her and her husband. On top of that, Michelle Walker and Joseph
Siford are accused of raping the girl and recording their crime.

"We ask anybody
out there who have seen these people to please call law enforcement
immediately," McCormick said.
The Cleveland
County Sheriff's Office believes the suspects are traveling together but in
different vehicles.
Once arrested, the
suspects are expected to face a combined total of 11 charges including first-degree rape and production of child pornography.
The Sifords could
be traveling in a dark gray 2006 Ford F-150 pickup truck with Oklahoma tag
996-HYC. Walker is believed to be driving a tan and white 2008 Toyota FJ
Cruiser with Oklahoma tag 234-HIA.
