In late spring 2012 three young brothers vanished from Pontotoc, Mississippi. Seven-year-old Diego Armando Pachecano, described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, about four feet tall and 75 pounds, was last seen on May 30, 2012 with his father, Tomas Pachecano, along with brothers Alexis, 8, and Jose, 1. Investigators treated the case as a parental abduction and within a week had obtained a felony kidnapping warrant for Tomas on June 6, 2012.

Authorities believed the family may have crossed into Mexico and were looking for a blue 2006 Nissan Sentra with Mississippi plate CHK020. The Pontotoc County Sheriff’s Office led the investigation and the boys’ information was entered into national missing-persons databases.

If anyone in Pontotoc or surrounding areas remembers seeing that Sentra or the family around May 30, 2012, please share what you know.
