On May 30, 2012, eight-year-old Jose Pascual Pachecano was last seen in Pontotoc, Mississippi, along with his seven-year-old brother Diego and one-year-old brother Alexis. Authorities quickly focused on the children’s father, Tomas Pachecano, and on June 6, 2012 the Pontotoc County Sheriff’s Office issued a felony kidnapping warrant for him. Investigators believed Tomas had taken the boys and fled the area, with Mexico reported as the likely destination.

Jose was described at the time as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, about four feet three inches tall and weighing ninety pounds. The family’s blue 2006 Nissan Sentra, Mississippi plate CHK020, was identified as the probable vehicle used in the abduction and was widely circulated. The case was entered into national missing persons databases and remains open; Tomas Pachecano continued to be wanted on the warrant.

Did anyone in Pontotoc or along known routes to Mexico ever see a blue 2006 Nissan Sentra with that plate or the three boys after May 30, 2012?
