Tammy Alexandra Flores, born on **March 30, 2004**, was a Hispanic female, approximately **3′2″ tall** and weighing around **36 pounds** at the time she disappeared. She had light‑brown hair and brown eyes, and was noted to suck her middle and ring fingers regularly. Her younger brother, Diego Alejandro Flores, aged 2, also vanished at the same time.
On **October 23, 2007**, Tammy and Diego were scheduled for a court‑mandated visitation with their **non‑custodial father**, **Francisco Flores**, at his home in Victorville, California. Their mother, Griselda Gonzalez, had dropped them off at a police station in Ontario earlier in the week for the transfer, per custody arrangements. Griselda routinely checked in with Francisco via phone due to his volatile behavior, but on that day and subsequent days, she could not reach him or the children. The house was found vacant and their car missing when she went to check on them, prompting an immediate report to authorities.
Investigators later determined that Francisco had planned the abduction beforehand. In the days before the disappearance, he had refinanced his house for approximately **$100,000 in cash**, sold his car, and abruptly quit a decade‑long job at a cable company—leaving without notice. On **October 31, 2007**, Griselda was awarded full custody by the court.
Francisco, who held dual U.S. and Mexican citizenship, was described at the time as about **6′0″ tall and 210 pounds**, with black hair, brown eyes, a mole on each cheek, and a mole under his nose. He may have since changed his appearance, possibly growing his hair longer or growing a beard. He is believed to have relatives in Mexico City.
On **January 18, 2008**, a **felony kidnapping warrant** was issued for Francisco by the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office; reports list the warrant effective dates as either January 18 or January 8, 2008 depending on source. The investigating agency is the **Ontario Police Department** in California, working in coordination with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and other national agencies.
Authorities continue to believe the children could still be in Southern California or may have traveled to **Oregon** or **Mexico**, possibly aided by Francisco's family contacts in Mexico City. Photos of Francisco circulated on multiple missing‑person platforms, and age‑progressed images of Tammy and Diego have been released periodically, most recently estimating Tammy's appearance in her late teens.
In **October 2020**, CBS Los Angeles revisited the case, reporting that as of that 13‑year mark Tammy would be around 16 and Diego about 15. Griselda, still residing in Victorville, reiterated her hope that the children would one day return, saying “All these years I’ve lived wondering if they’re safe… I will never give up.” The news item encouraged anyone with information to contact the Ontario Police or NCMEC tip lines.
Despite numerous public appeals, media features—including segments on *Unsolved Mysteries* and *In Pursuit with John Walsh*—and ongoing investigative work, **no confirmed sightings or new leads** have emerged. The case remains **unsolved and active**, and investigators continue to seek credible information regarding Tammy’s whereabouts.
