Their last known contact was at approximately 1:00 PM. Their current whereabouts are unknown,” they said in a statement on May 10.
Notably, an Amber Alert is issued when a child goes missing or law enforcement determines that the child is in danger and has potentially been abducted. Amid the new development in the case, here's all you need to know about Alejandro and Escarleth Vasquez.
Both Alejandro and Escarleth went missing from the San Antonio area of Texas, and the Amber Alert notes “If you see either of them or the vehicle they may be traveling in, call 911 immediately or contact the Texas Department of Public Safety at (210) 531-2284.”
