Monish Narayan Venkatesan was 4 years old when he was last seen in Chaska, Minnesota, on February 9, 2007. His disappearance was classified as a family abduction: he and his sister Prathima were taken by their noncustodial mother, Renukadevi Venkatesan. A felony warrant for Renukadevi’s arrest was issued on January 4, 2008.

Monish was born May 20, 2002, is of Indian descent, and was fluent in English and Tamil at the time he went missing. Investigators believe the children may have been taken to India, but their exact whereabouts remain unknown. The Chaska Police Department has kept the case open and age-progression images have been released, yet no definitive leads have emerged.

Anyone with information on Monish or Prathima, or who may have seen them after February 2007, is asked to come forward.
