On August 28, 1999, 11-year-old Mario Mordoche, his 8-year-old brother Jonathan, and their 29-year-old mother Yakelin Llanes vanished from Miami after Yakelin told family she was driving the boys to Tampa to see their father, an ex-boyfriend, and that he would give her a car. The family reportedly planned to travel in a rented brown 1999 Chevrolet Malibu with Florida plate GH830M, but they never arrived in Tampa and have not been seen or heard from since.

Investigators who checked Yakelin’s Miami apartment found no sign the family had prepared for a road trip; Yakelin’s toothbrush remained behind. After two weeks without contact, relatives filed missing-person reports and the Tampa man confirmed they never reached his home. The brown Malibu has never been located and the case is classified as endangered missing.

What information might help clarify whether they ever left Miami, or who last saw the family before August 28, 1999?
