UPDATE: 5:35 p.m.
The Camden County Sheriff's Office says the Gentry family has been found safe in Indiana.
First Coast News was with their friends on Doris Street in St. Marys when the family was found. Friend Traci Sprinkle told us, "She loved her kids more than anything. She wanted nothing but the best for her kids."
The sheriff's office said Indiana authorities are now trying to determine if all of the family members voluntarily left the Camden County area.
The mother spoke to First Coast News and said Thursday's reports were "100% not true."
“I am moving out of town. I am relocating with my children and I, um, guess people in this town do not like that. I changed my number, I took people off Facebook, I stopped all communication," she said.
Sprinkle wants to know more about why Gentry and her three kids left the state, but she's thankful they were found alive.
"I'm stoked that they have been located," she said. "Hopefully, they are being taken into custody and questioned."

The Camden County Sheriff’s Office has issued a Levi’s Call for three missing children in St. Marys. They are working to determine if the children, along with their mother, are safe after they were reported missing Thursday.
According to a news release from Georgia State Patrol, the children, identified as 6-year-old Meadow Gentry, 5-year-old Autumn Gentry and 3-year-old Kole Gentry, were reportedly abducted by their father, Marshall Gentry, around noon Wednesday.
They’re asking people to be on the lookout for a black 2019 Toyota Tundra with a Georgia tag #RTQ7135. It could have a 2019 Coleman camper attached to it.
State patrol says it’s being driven by Marshall Gentry and that he is heavily armed and known to be suicidal.
Marshall Gentry and his wife are reportedly going through a divorce, according to Camden deputies. The pair were seen picking up their children around noon Wednesday.
Marshall Gentry is in the U.S. Navy at Kings Bay and was living in a pop-up camper on base, deputies said.
When he did not arrive at work at 8 a.m. Thursday, his supervisor went to check on him and noticed that his camper had been moved, according to deputies.
Upon arriving at Dorris Street, where his wife lives, deputies noticed that Marshall Gentry's military uniforms were on the front porch.
That is when the supervisor got concerned and contacted the St. Mary police.
A Levi's Call, or Amber Alert, was then issued to see if his wife and children are safe and to make sure they're not being held against their will, deputies said.
