Michelle Ileana Uribe-Ramos was two years old when she was taken from Denver, Colorado, on or around March 1, 2002. She was taken by her mother, Leticia Ramos, in violation of a court order; Michelle’s younger sister Ligia was taken at the same time. At the time of the abduction Michelle was about three feet tall, weighed fifty pounds, had black hair, blue eyes, and pierced ears.

The Denver Police Department opened the investigation and law enforcement has long considered that the non-custodial mother may have taken the children to Mexico. Age-progressed images have been released over the years as the search continued. The case remains an active parental abduction matter and the family’s hope for answers has persisted.

If anyone has information about Michelle’s whereabouts, or remembers seeing these children after March 1, 2002, please come forward.
