I am not finding a ton of missing mothers with a little boy who are missing. I suppose that's a good thing. They may have not been reported missing yet. Here are the ones I did find. Hard to tell until there is more info released. Nothing in NAMUS yet.

were they even reported missing? wth shoots a 14-month old? disgusting
 
This story made me sad for the obvious reason that mom and child were found dead. Two innocent victims so brutally murdered... But something else bothered me.

I was astounded that they had not been reported missing. I still wonder why her family never called the authorities or reported them missing??
 
A suspect has been arrested in Nicaragua, and extradition proceedings are underway. He is alleged to be a member of the violent MS-13 gang.

Alleged victim Vanessa Argueta, 19, is said to have had a romantic relationship with Garcia, and she's also believed to have had ties to two rival gangs: the 18th Street gang and the Latin Kings.
"They were going to kill her for disrespecting the gang," Special Agent James Lopez said in the FBI release. "It is unacceptable for MS-13 members to have girls they associate with be involved with rival gang members."

The FBI said that under the guise of an invitation to dinner in Central Islip, New York, Garcia coerced Argueta and her 2-year-old son into the woods. There, they were met by two co-conspirators -- members of Mara Salvatrucha -- and Argueta was murdered execution-style in front of her son. The FBI said the same gun was then used to kill the toddler.
 
From November 2015:

An accused gang member was sentenced to life in prison on Monday for his role in the 2010 killing of his girlfriend and her toddler son... Juan Elias "Cruzito" Garcia, 22, a reputed member of the murderous international gang known as MS-13, was convicted in March 2013...

Fellow accused gang member Adalberto Ariel Guzman also was sentenced to life plus 35 years in prison after being convicted of charges related to the murders and accused gang member Rene Mendez Mejia is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to the murders.
