Francisco Arias Jr., a 9-year-old boy, was last seen on December 1, 2009, in San Jose, California. He and his 3-month-old sister, Ashley Arias, were abducted by their non-custodial parents, Francisco Javier Arias Sr. and Estella Zamora Arias. Both parents had felony warrants issued for their arrest shortly after the abduction. It is believed they fled with the children, possibly traveling to Mexico, and may have been driving a red Ford Expedition at the time.

Francisco Jr. is described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he was about 3 feet tall and weighed approximately 65 pounds. His parents are also Hispanic, with Francisco Sr. possibly using the alias "Antonio Arellano." Despite alerts and efforts to locate the family, their whereabouts remain unknown. Law enforcement agencies continue to seek information about the case, encouraging anyone with tips to come forward.

Authorities believe the children are being concealed by their parents and may still be in Mexico. The case remains open and unresolved.
