John Earl Jr. was 7 years old when he was last seen on June 15, 2012, in Mason, Texas. Authorities say the circumstances point to an abduction by his mother, Maria Earl, during a custody dispute; Maria was last spotted with John in the San Antonio area after they left Mason. The case remains an active missing person matter and is listed in national missing person databases as the family continues to search for answers. There is no public information about John’s current whereabouts.

If anyone saw Maria Earl or a young boy matching John’s description in June 2012, or has information about their movements after they left Mason, please come forward.
