Mario Lopez, a 6-year-old boy, was last seen on March 8, 2005, in Livingston, California. He and his 12-year-old brother, Joel, were playing basketball at Livingston Middle School around 5:30 p.m. when they disappeared. Their foster parents reported them missing two hours later. Neither Mario nor Joel took any extra clothing or belongings with them, and they did not have a history of running away, raising concerns about their safety.
Authorities initially suspected that the boys might have been taken by their biological parents, although this has not been confirmed. It was speculated that they could still be in the local area or may have traveled to Fresno, California. Joel was later found, but as of today, Mario remains missing. His case is classified as endangered missing, and efforts to locate him continue.
The public is encouraged to provide any information that may help bring Mario home.Last Seen: Mar 8, 2005
