Aurora Lynnore Hilton, age 12, was reported missing from Stafford County, Virginia, after last being seen on September 19, 2025. Her legal guardian called the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office when Aurora failed to return from a scheduled visitation with her mother, Olivia Santos. Investigators concluded the case involves a parental abduction rather than a routine missed pickup.

Aurora is described as 4 feet 8 inches tall, about 100 pounds, with blonde hair and red highlights. When last seen she wore jean shorts and a black top and may have been carrying two backpacks and a grocery bag. Detectives developed evidence they say indicates Santos, 36, fled the country with Aurora, and a warrant was issued charging Santos with abduction by a parent.

The search expanded to federal partners amid concern Santos may have taken Aurora to the Philippines, and the investigation remains active. If anyone has seen Aurora or knows of travel by Olivia Santos after September 19, 2025, please contact the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office.
