Yakelin Llanes and her two sons, Jonathan Mordoche and Mario Mordoche, have been missing since 1999. Llanes’ vehicle has never been recovered, leading McManus to believe they are in a body of water.

Alison McManus helped create the organization. Her nephew went missing in November of 2005 and the family had to conduct their own searches for him. Six months later, they found him at the bottom of a canal that was located less than half a mile from where he was last seen. During these searches, they found many cars submerged under water.

The canal theory came to mind when I saw this thread. There was a case where a mother and her children disappeared while on the way back from Miami area to Tampa Bay decades ago and they where found in a canal a few years back. So sad how many cars are probably in those canals.

Thank you for that story. I believe you wrote on another thread that "Florida takes a long time to give back their dead" or something along those lines. Whenever I read about a missing person in Florida, that line always enters my mind and it's unfortunately very accurate.

Yakelin and her children were driving to Tampa from Miami. I'm not familiar with Florida geography but I'm guessing this leaves open a lot of possibilities on where they could be. Assuming they are deceased and their fate was accidental.

There are so many canals and lakes in Florida that I can see the accident scenario on many missing persons cases over the decades. I'm sure other states have their specific topography which can be perilous too. For example the vast Rocky Mountains as well as the deserts and mountains in California and Nevada to name a few.

It is sad that families can't be sure if their loved ones are out there alive, in a canal or other body of water, or truly victims of some psychopath. It's even sadder that sometimes these disappearances that result in death via waterways could possibly be avoided with Florida putting up some guard rails or barriers along Tamiami Trail and Alligator Alley where many of the canals are.

Bump

I find it strange how the family didn't prepare for the trip and the mother tooth brush was at her home. How do we even know they were on their way to Tampa? did the police interview the neighbours who may have seen them last? so many answers needed my guess it could be an accident that they were on there way and got into difficulty or a possible abduction.

Bump, almost 24 years.

Had she driven this route before? Did she have a normal route she took? What was the weather like in late August? Any storms in the area beyond the typical afternoon rains?

So many questions. Are there any newspaper articles that would provide more details?

So the weather was bad when she left. They’re not far from home then if I had to guess.

I agree. If the whole family is missing along with a vehicle, I a; sway think about bodies of water. If the weather was bad, that could increase the risk and cover tire tracks.
