Honest Juan Cayanan Macadaeg, born on June 21, 1971, was 40 years old when he allegedly abducted his three-year-old son, Ernest John Lacap Macadaeg, on January 18, 2012, in Davis, California. A felony warrant was issued for Honest Juan on July 23, 2012. He has distinctive tattoos: a yin-yang symbol on his back, a snake on his shoulder blade, and another on the back of his neck. He may use the aliases "John" or "John Boy." Authorities believe they may have traveled to Manila, Philippines.

Ernest John, nicknamed "EJ," was born on June 29, 2008. At the time of his abduction, he was three years old, with brown hair and brown eyes. Age-progressed images have been released to aid in the search.
