Amber Alert issued for two boys, ages 2 and 8, abducted in El Paso

Is there a mother involved, or is that who the children were taken from?

I'm going by court records here but it looks like she had custody. LO's father isn't JC, however.

So he abducted his own baby and the half brother, her older son?
Uh oh!!!

Uh oh!!!

That's what it appears to be in court records. There's a guy by the initials DO that appears to have been married to LO (LO and MC's mother) at one point who appears to be LO's (the child) father.

This alert sounded on my phone a little while ago. This sounds like a scary situation. I hope these little boys are found safe and soon.

I was really hoping we would have an update that these boys were found safe by now, but I can't find much online. I wonder how this guy got his hands on these kids and where he might be headed with them.

 

[PayrollNerd]

Let's hope he left the location feature of his phone turned on. He's used it in the past per his FB page.
National Center for Missing and Exploited Facebook post this afternoon:
ETA:
Leonardo and Matias were last seen on June 29, 2019 in #ElPaso, #Texas. They may be in the company of their father, Justin Carrillo. They may be traveling in a 2003 black Hyundai Elantra with Texas license plates KYR4562.

CAUTION: If located do not approach, use caution and immediately contact law enforcement.

I would say he’s heading south.

 

[TristanP]

Is it just me or does it seem like a lot of Amber Alerts issued involve Hyundais??

 

[PayrollNerd]

I would say he’s heading south.

I noticed on his FB page he listed a city in Mexico that he visited in 2017. Really hope some traffic cameras have picked him up. It’s really hard to fly under the radar with 2 little kids that need food.

So funny, I was thinking the same thing, they do seem to be popular with kidnappers

 

[kiaatcher]

Surely workers at the border would be notified of an AA, or am I wrong?
Him kidnapping the older child is definitely an odd detail I hope these kiddos are found safely soon!

This guy does not look like a crazed criminal. Hopefully he's keeping the kids safe.

Moo, maybe he’s been like a father figure to the oldest child and that’s why he took him. Or maybe it’s a I’m going to take away the things(kids) to emotionally hurt you

I'm hoping it's the former and he took the kids because he thinks he's helping them!
