On April 1, 2025, in Medford, Oregon, 12-year-old Trinidad Ransom Victorino was last seen, marking the beginning of a concerning missing persons case. He, along with his sibling Kadian Van Deeds-Malcom, disappeared with their mother, Nicole Caldera. The situation was complicated by the fact that while Nicole had temporary physical custody of her children, the Department of Human Services held full legal custody.
Concerns for the children's welfare were heightened due to their mother's history of drug use. The Medford Police Department was alerted and began an investigation into their whereabouts.
The circumstances surrounding the disappearance suggested a planned departure. Authorities believed that Nicole Caldera had left the Medford area with her children and likely her husband, JR Caldera. They were thought to be traveling in a brown 2002 Chevrolet Blazer. Adding to the difficulty of the search, the Oregon license plate on the vehicle, ZYA851, did not belong to the Blazer and was reportedly taken from another car. Investigators suspected they might be heading towards Crescent City, California, or another coastal town, and also had known connections to Avenal, California.
The Medford Police Department issued a public appeal for information, designating the case as Missing Person Case 25-5769. The community's concern and the authorities' diligent work led to a positive outcome. On April 8, 2025, it was announced that Trinidad Victorino, his sibling, and his mother had been located and were safe. The specific details of where and how they were found have not been publicly disclosed by law enforcement. This case ultimately concluded with the safe recovery of the children, bringing relief to those who followed their story.Last Seen: Apr 1, 2025
