Everardo Jaimes-Lopez was 5 years old in records but was last seen on July 19, 2002, in Wilmington, California. He and his younger sister Valeria Jaimes-Lopez were taken by their mother, Delia Lopez, in what authorities classify as a family abduction. Everardo was 3 feet 5 inches tall, about 48 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes at the time they disappeared.

Investigators believe the mother may have concealed the children and suspect the family may have fled to Mexico, but neither child has been confirmed seen since 2002. The Los Angeles Police Department continues to list both children in national databases and seeks any information that could locate them.

Did anyone in Wilmington or along likely travel routes in 2002 have contact with a family matching these names or descriptions?
