Found Safe TX - Leonardo Ortega, 8, and Matias Carrillo, 2, El Paso, 29 Jun 2019

This could possibly be a revenge-type abduction? I’m getting the feeling he won’t harm them; I hope I’m right. Hoping for a FOUND SAFE update very soon. In the meantime I will keep my eyes peeled in Louisiana.

Does he have family in the direction he seems to be headed? Does it seem like he was emotionally bonded to the child that is not his? Does the children's mother have any ideas where he might be running to?

I hope they're okay. It's strange that they're described as white because I feel like that's inaccurate and the description should be as accurate as possible so people know what to keep an eye out for if they get this alert on their phone without pictures.

Checking in on these boys.

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

“El Paso police believe the children to be in grave or immediate danger.”

Carrillo Justin Found JC's Facebook

What can be ascertained from this, anything?

ETA:

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.

This is one of the greatest dangers with familial kidnappings, imo.

ETA: Just saw the post about the Mexican city

No indication of violence.
He does appear anti-police.
A few old pics of his son, none of the older boy, their mother or any other family members.
It seems like mostly selfies so people can tell him he looks good.

I'm not sure why they're all being described by LE as white. I know it doesn't make a difference in the urgency, but I don't want people who see them and have heard the description but not seen the pictures to pass them by because they look 'too tanned' to be the children described.

I'm really hoping they are found soon. Usually familial abduction ends in safe resolution, but there's always a few cases that don't and it's always those cases on my mind when this happens. They look like sweet little kids.

They are safe: Missing El Paso children found safe in Mexico

Police were searching for 8-year-old Leonardo Ortega and 2-year-old Matias Carrillo.

The boys were returned to the United States and reunited with their mother with the help of the FBI and U.S. Marshalls.


Police were searching for 26-year-old Justin Carrillo in connection to their abduction, but police haven't said if he was found with the children.

Police say no arrests have been made, but the investigation continues.

Great news!

 

[ADKGemini]

Everyone was right, he took them right to Mexico

 

[mrz]

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

Even if he thinks he's helping them, why not take them to the cops? JC is in a lot of trouble at any rate it seems. MOO

 

[kgreg2529]

Oh thank goodness they are safe!!

 

[Snoop Sister]

Glad to hear they are back with their mom!

 

[ClockworkLemon]

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

I guess because they are popular, fairly cheap, a few years ago they were so popular that dealerships could barely keep them in stock. Great mileage, low maintenance....Just guessing.

 

[Saribella]

I would say he’s heading south.

Good call...

 

[Hazelnutty]

Thank goodness!!

 

[Snoop Sister]

I would say he’s heading south.

And you were right!

Glad to hear good news on this scary situations ending. There's been way to much sadness in the world of late. I'm very happy for the momma and her safe return of her boys.

Latino people are categorized as white.
