Marbella Alvarez, a 20-year-old Hispanic woman with brown hair and brown eyes, was last confirmed in contact on October 11, 2017, in Chicago, Illinois. She was later reported missing and her case was handled by the Chicago Police Department’s 2nd District. Her disappearance became more urgent when her two-year-old son, Dilan J. Alvarez, born March 4, 2015, was reported missing on December 5, 2017.

Authorities have said they believe Dilan was abducted by Marbella, his non-custodial mother, and the search for Marbella effectively became a search for both mother and child. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has been involved and the CPD case remains open, but no public updates about their whereabouts have been reported.

If anyone has information about Marbella Alvarez or her son Dilan that could help locate them, please share what you know with the Chicago Police Department.
