In a case that crosses international borders, four-year-old Jose Antonio Sisco-Ramirez vanished on January 26, 2006. The young boy, with black hair and black eyes, was last known to be in the company of his mother, Irama Ramirez De Sisco. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are rooted in a parental custody dispute. His father, Carlos Jose Ovalles, holds legal custody of the child.
The last known location of Jose and his mother was believed to be West Valley City, Utah, though the official report with the West Valley City Police Department was not filed until January 3, 2008.
The sequence of events leading to Jose's disappearance began in Cantaura, Anzoategui, Venezuela. Irama Ramirez De Sisco reportedly left Venezuela with her son on January 26, 2006. She had informed the boy's father that they were traveling to Miami, Florida, for a 15-day visit with relatives. An agreement was signed stipulating that Jose would be returned to Venezuela by February 2006, a promise that was not kept. Instead of returning, it is believed that Irama and Jose traveled to Utah. By the time the case was reported in 2008, authorities believed they were residing in the state. There have also been suggestions that they may have traveled to California at some point.
The investigation into Jose's disappearance has remained active over the years, with law enforcement agencies and missing persons organizations continuing to seek information. The case is a poignant example of international parental kidnapping, a complex situation that presents significant challenges for investigators. The primary goal remains to locate Jose and ensure his well-being. The passage of time has not diminished the hope of resolving this case and providing answers for a father who has been separated from his son for many years. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Jose Sisco-Ramirez or Irama Ramirez De Sisco is encouraged to contact the West Valley City Police Department.Last Seen: Jan 26, 2006
