Amalia Stoian, age 5, has been missing from Anaheim, California, since December 29, 2022. She is described as 2 feet 10 inches tall, about 25 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, and is believed to be with her younger brother, Matusalem Boran Stoian, and their parents, Claudiu Rafael Stoian and Madalina Paun.

Authorities say the children are reportedly being concealed by their non-custodial parents. The family was last seen together on December 29, 2022, and police have expressed concern for the welfare of both children. The parents are wanted in connection with several robberies in the Los Angeles area; investigators allege the couple drove an SUV, approached pedestrians asking to bless their money or jewelry, and that Madalina Paun swapped victims’ valuables with costume jewelry and lottery tickets. On at least one occasion Claudiu Stoian allegedly brandished a gun.

Anyone with information about the family’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Long Beach Police Department.
