RIVERSIDE, Calif. (KNX) — Two young boys are missing after a supervised Sunday visit with their biological mother at Riverside's Fairmount Park, police said in a statement, alleging that she may have abducted them.
Trina Garcia was last seen around 2:48 p.m. Sunday, while at the park at 2601 Fairmount Boulevard with her sons Elias Perez, 5, and Raul Perez, 6.
Officers with the Riverside Police Department were called to the park after all three disappeared, and said they believe that Garcia snuck off with the boys during the supervised visit in order to take them without permission.
"Both children and their mother are currently missing, and it is unknown if she left with the children in a vehicle or on foot," RPD said in a statement to KNX.
"Officers have checked various locations the mother hsa been known to live or frequent."
As of Monday at 3 p.m., officers have had no luck finding the family members, Officer Ryan Railsback told KNX.
Garcia, 20, is described as 5 foot 3, 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a burgundy shirt and blue jeans. She does not have custody of the boys and is believed to be homeless, police said.
Elias Perez is described as 3 feet tall, 50 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a white and gray long-sleeved shirt and black sweatpants.
Raul Perez is described as 3 feet tall, 40 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a gray and red "PUMA" shirt and black pants with red lines on the side.
Anyone with information about Garcia that can help investigators find the children, or who sees them out in Riverside and the surrounding areas, is asked to contact Detective Edward Vazquez at (951) 353-7136 or by email at EVazquez@RiversideCA.gov.
