Valeria Ixchel Jaimes-Lopez was 3 years old when she and her 6-year-old brother, Everardo Jaimes-Lopez, were last seen in Wilmington, California on July 19, 2002. Both children are believed to have been taken by their mother, Delia Lopez, and authorities suspect the family may have been taken to Mexico to conceal them. At the time Valeria disappeared she was wearing a pink jacket.

She is described as having brown hair and brown eyes, about 3 feet tall and roughly 35 pounds. The Los Angeles Police Department lists this as a family abduction and continues to investigate.

If anyone has information about Valeria, Everardo, or Delia Lopez’s whereabouts, please contact the Los Angeles Police Department.
