In the summer of 2022, a young boy named Alejandro Ceja-Bravo disappeared from Maricopa County, Arizona. At the time he went missing on July 16, 2022, he was a small child of three years old. The initial report to law enforcement was made by his father, who contacted the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office to express his concern. The circumstances surrounding Alejandro's disappearance are believed to be related to a custodial dispute. Authorities suspect the child is with his mother, and their current location is unknown.

The investigation into Alejandro's whereabouts has involved multiple law enforcement agencies. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is the primary agency handling the case, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation has also been listed as a contact for information. According to reports, Alejandro's mother, identified as Maria Concepcion Ceja-Torres, is allegedly withholding him from his father in violation of custodial arrangements. This has led to the classification of his case as one of unlawful withholding, prompting a broader effort to locate both mother and child. Public appeals for information have been made, encouraging anyone with knowledge of their location to come forward.

Efforts to find Alejandro have been ongoing since he was first reported missing. Organizations such as the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children have circulated his information and a flyer, which includes a photograph that has been age-progressed to show what he might look like as he has gotten older. Despite these efforts and the continued investigation by law enforcement, there has been no public confirmation that Alejandro has been found. The case is a painful reminder of the complexities of custodial disagreements and the profound impact they have on the children involved. The search for Alejandro continues, fueled by the hope of his safe return.
