FL FL - Andrew Caballeiro, 8 days, missing after 3 women killed, Miami, 28 Jan 2020 *father found dead*

[Stunned]

I never knew the daughter wasn’t home! Thank God she didn’t miss the massacre. Bad enough the aftermath.
I was down in Homestead about 3 weeks (?) after ordeal. My sister lived down the road from the house. The police were still there.

Details of Disappearance
Andrew was last seen in Miami, Florida on January 28, 2020. His parents, Arlety Garcia Valdes and Ernesto Caballeiro, were separated and their relationship was troubled, but he did offer to help her during her pregnancy.

Arlety, Andrew and her nine-year-old daughter from a prior relationship had been staying with Arlety's brother, but members of the household became sick and Arlety didn't want the baby to get sick, so she took him and went to stay at Ernesto's home in the 21900 block of southwest 187th Avenue, to stay with him there. On January 28, Ernesto shot and killed Arlety, as well as Andrew's maternal grandmother, Isabel Valdes Gonzalez, and maternal great-grandmother, Lina Gonzalez Licor, at his house.

Surveillance cameras around the home showed Ernesto arriving at 10:00 a.m., then leaving an hour later with Andrew and an AR-15 rifle. A day later, Ernesto's body was found in a wooded area in Pasco County, Florida, near his white Ford Van. He had shot himself to death with the AR-15, which was found next to his body. There was no indication of Andrew's whereabouts. There were no baby items inside Ernesto's van except a single pacifier, and Andrew's DNA wasn't on it.

A blonde woman had been seen with Ernesto in his van, but authorities think it's possible she simply stopped to check on the van before the triple murder occurred. This woman has never been identified.

Photos of Ernesto and the murdered women are posted with this case summary. Ernesto had a criminal record for car theft, operating a "chop shop" that sold stolen vehicles, and one charge of aggravated assault that had been dismissed.

Authorities believe it's likely that Andrew was also murdered, but several searches haven't turned up any evidence. They don't think Ernesto took him to Pasco County with him and believe it's likely Andrew's body is in the Miami area. The surviving members of his family are raising his older sister, who was not with the others on the day they were killed.

Wow. Can they do age progression imagery on an infant? That’d be helpful.

Zachary Bernhardt: Zachary went missing 4 a.m. Sept. 11, 2000, from Clearwater, FL. He was 8 yo & would be 29 now. Since he’s been missing since 2000, he has the “longest-running Amber Alert in the state”.

Do you have any information on Florida’s unsolved AMBER Alert cases?

Right now in the state of Florida, there are currently seven active AMBER Alert cases that have remained unsolved.

www.actionnewsjax.com

On Thursday, National AMBER Alert Awareness Day, the FDLE is asking the community to take another look at these cases in hopes of bringing loved ones home safely.

The oldest case dates back to 2000, when a Clearwater 8-year-old boy named Zachary Bernhardt disappeared from his bedroom. The most recent is the abduction of Andrew Caballeiro, who was just 1 week old when authorities said he was taken in Miami in 2020. His abductor, Ernesto Caballeiro, was found dead, but the child is still missing.

At one point, the search for the missing child from Miami-Dade County included efforts in south Fort Myers.

That child, Andrew Caballeiro, was a week old in January 2020 when his father, Ernesto Caballeiro, 49, kidnapped him and apparently murdered three women linked to the baby.

The day after taking the infant, Ernesto Caballeiro was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in Pasco County. Andrew has never been found.

There is nothing between where the baby was taken and where Ernesto’s body was found but agricultural fields and the Everglades. It wound be a miracle if they found Andrews body.

Yes, this is one of the ones that really sticks with me. The horror of the three mothers all killed in addition to the baby being taken, and then the father's suicide. So much tragedy in one fell swoop. I don't expect he'll ever be found either.
