Sofia Hernandez Perez, a nine-year-old Hispanic girl from Beaver Dam, Kentucky, was last seen on September 29, 2023. Her disappearance has not been classified as a death; investigators treat this as an alleged parental abduction rather than a child who wandered off. Authorities believe Sofia and her eleven-year-old brother, Eidan Alexander Hernandez Perez, were taken by their mother, Patricia Hernandez.

A striking detail in the case is that a felony warrant for kidnapping had been issued for Patricia Hernandez on November 2, 2022, months before the children were reported missing. The Beaver Dam Police Department leads the investigation, and the case is registered with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children under number 2001976, which has broadened the search for the children and their mother.

Anyone in the Beaver Dam area or beyond who may have seen Sofia, Eidan, or Patricia, or who has information about their possible whereabouts, is asked to contact the investigating agency.
