Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP19880) and 2 other sources
Wesley Rivera-Romero, a 6-year-old boy, was last seen on January 22, 2005, in Oxnard, California. He disappeared alongside his two sisters, Alejandra and Monserrat, in what authorities classified as a family abduction. The siblings were taken by their non-custodial father, Alejandro Rivera Avina, who is believed to have fled with them to Mexico. A warrant for Alejandro's arrest was issued on August 19, 2005, for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

Wesley, also known by his nickname "Wili," was last seen wearing a yellow shirt, blue pants, and brown hiking boots. He has distinct moles on his upper back and the back of his neck. Despite ongoing efforts to locate the children, their whereabouts remain unknown, and the case is still unsolved. It is suspected that Alejandro may have changed his name or identity while in hiding.

Authorities continue to urge anyone with information about the case to contact law enforcement, as Wesley and his siblings have been missing for nearly two decades.

Last Seen: Jan 22, 2005
