Another Amber Alert In Florida--12-Year Old Margarita Aguilar-Lopez Reported Missing
UPDATE 4/27: Margarita found today in South Carolina. Story here.
......Margarita Aguilar-Lopez.. ........Antonio Paulino-Perez
A 12-year old Mexican girl was reported missing after disappearing from a motel room in Bradenton, Florida, last night. Margarita Aguilar-Lopez, along with two other children, was left in the care of 25-year old Antonio Paulino-Perez, a man she had never met before. Magarita had been with two brothers (one of whom was the father of the other two children) who left her with Paulino-Perez while they went out drinking.
When they returned to the motel both Paulino-Perez and Magarita were gone. Police soon arrived, in response to a report of battery against the two brothers. Later, the brothers said that they did not report the girl missing at that time because, according to a police statement, they "were too intoxicated and could not remember."
The problem we’re having at this point is they are not U.S. citizens,” Bradenton Police Major Jeff Lewis said. “We’re having a difficult time in locating these people … He may be trying to return to Mexico with the 12-year-old.”
More details and descriptions of Margarita and her alleged abductor can be found here.
As always, prayers are needed....assisted by a quick police response and community support.
