Steven Carlos Mendez was one year old when he was last seen in West New York, New Jersey, on May 6, 2003. The official report of his disappearance was filed on September 8, 2003. Authorities say his mother, Azucena Campos de Mendez, is the primary suspect in an alleged parental abduction; a felony warrant for her was issued December 24, 2003.

Investigators have long considered the possibility that Azucena fled with Steven to Pueblo, Mexico, a lead that has complicated search efforts. At the time he vanished Steven was described as a Hispanic male with brown hair and brown eyes. The Hudson County Sheriff’s Office and organizations that work on missing children’s cases have kept the investigation active and list locating Steven and ensuring his well-being as the primary goal.

Are there readers who remember seeing Steven or his mother in 2003, or who have any information about travel to Pueblo, Mexico around that time?
