Ganem Emil Avila, a 4-year-old from Waukesha, Wisconsin, was last seen on January 8, 2013. He is described as biracial with short brown hair and brown eyes, about 3 feet 2 inches tall and roughly 50 pounds at the time. Authorities say Ganem was allegedly abducted by his non-custodial mother, Maria Delacruz Avila; a felony warrant for custodial interference was issued for Maria on September 25, 2013.

Investigators believe Maria may have taken Ganem to Mexico. Maria has used the alias Ines and is reported to have distinctive tattoos on her lower back and shin. An age-progressed photo has been released to suggest how Ganem might look as a teenager, but no significant updates about his whereabouts have been reported.

If anyone has information about Ganem, his possible movements, or sightings of Maria using the alias Ines, please contact the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office.
