Michael Alexander Reyes was four months old when his non-custodial mother, Maria Belen Francesconi, took him from Miami, Florida, to visit family in Argentina on August 31, 2008, and did not return. Francesconi reportedly had permission for the trip but violated an agreement with Michael’s father, Miguel Reyes, prompting an international parental kidnapping case and a federal arrest warrant issued in 2013.

Courts in both Argentina and the United States have ordered Michael’s return under the Hague Convention, but those orders have not been enforced and Michael remains in Argentina with his mother. Francesconi is believed to have ties to Argentina, Italy, and possibly other South American countries. The FBI continues to seek information; investigations are ongoing and age-progressed images have been released to help locate him.

If anyone has information about Michael’s whereabouts or contacts for Francesconi, please share what is known with the FBI.
