On December 2, 2022, one-year-old Petrona Jimenez and her five-year-old sister Ana Dalilah Jimenez Perez were reported missing from Portland, Oregon. The sisters are described as having been abducted by their non-custodial parents; the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation. Petrona is described as a Hispanic female with brown hair and black eyes. The children’s cases were entered into national missing persons databases to alert law enforcement across the country.

The disappearance is being treated as a familial abduction, which the report notes adds complexity to the search and legal situation. The primary focus remains locating Petrona and Ana and ensuring their safety. Anyone who had contact with the girls or saw them around December 2, 2022, or who recognizes their descriptions is asked to come forward with information.
