Joshua Sneed was three years old when he was taken from Thousand Oaks, California, on October 13, 2019. His mother removed him and his sister Chelsea and traveled to Peru. Their father, Paul Sneed, had full legal and physical custody at the time and a court order required the children’s return to the United States.

Peruvian authorities have not returned the children, and they remain in Peru. Joshua’s case is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as MP140575, last contacted on October 13, 2019. Paul Sneed has traveled to Peru and sought legal help to recover the children but has not succeeded, and he reports significant emotional and financial strain from the ongoing separation.

If anyone has information about Joshua or knows their whereabouts in Peru since October 13, 2019, please come forward.
