Angel Gallegos-Guzman was a 2-year-old Hispanic/Latino boy from Omaha, Nebraska, when he was reported missing in early 2009. NamUs lists his date of last contact as February 1, 2009, and identifies the Omaha Police Department as the investigating agency, with NCMEC case number 1129845. At the time, Angel was described as about 2 feet 5 inches tall and 30 pounds, with black hair and black eyes.
He also had a scar on his left side, a small identifying detail that investigators and advocates preserved in public case information so he could be recognized if seen. The clothing description associated with the case said he was wearing a maroon shirt with a moose on it and jeans.
Angel was last seen with his sister, Alexandra Bernal-Gallegos. Public case summaries reported that the children may have been in the company of their mother, and some sources described the situation as a suspected family abduction involving a non-custodial parent. The available public details were limited, and some secondary case listings gave the last-seen date as February 9, 2009, rather than February 1, 2009, creating a small discrepancy between sources. What remained consistent across the public record was that Angel and Alexandra were believed to have disappeared from Omaha together, that the authorities believed they might be traveling in a gold SUV of unknown make or model, and that they could have remained in Nebraska or traveled to Florida or Mexico.
Because Angel was so young, the case depended heavily on photographs, identifying details, and the possibility that someone might recognize him as he grew. NamUs’ case data included multiple images, including age-progressed renderings created over the years to show how Angel might have looked as an older child. Those images reflected the long passage of time and the sustained effort to keep his identity visible. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s broader public-facing work emphasizes that missing children’s cases depend on awareness and public reporting, and Angel’s case was carried in that same spirit: a young child, his sister, and a family story with few publicly released details but deep emotional weight for those searching.
The case is no longer an active missing persons case because the attached NamUs API data lists Angel’s case resolution status as Alive, meaning he was found alive. The exact date and circumstances of that resolution are not provided in the available information, so the known public ending is necessarily brief and careful: Angel survived, and the active missing-person search was closed. In overview, Angel Gallegos-Guzman’s case began with the disappearance of a 2-year-old boy and his sister from Omaha, Nebraska, in 2009; investigators believed they may have been with their mother and possibly traveling in a gold SUV, with possible destinations including Nebraska, Florida, or Mexico; public agencies and missing-child advocates preserved his details through case listings and age progressions; and, although the resolution details are vague, the case ultimately ended with Angel being located alive.Last Seen: Feb 1, 2009
