In the coastal city of Savannah, Georgia, a young boy's disappearance has left a family and community searching for answers. I Gusti Agung Bimantara Putra, a four-year-old boy of biracial descent, was last seen on January 1, 2010. At the time he went missing, he was described as being 4'3' tall and weighing 60 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He may be referred to by his middle name, Bimantara, or the nickname Bima.
Authorities believe that I Gusti Agung was abducted by his non-custodial father, I Gusti Ngurah Adi Putra. A felony warrant for parental kidnapping was issued for the father on September 14, 2011. At the time of his son's disappearance, I Gusti Ngurah Adi Putra was 32 years old, described as Asian, 5'9' tall, and weighing 140 pounds, with black hair and black eyes. It is thought that they may have traveled to Indonesia. A photograph taken in November 2012, after he was reported missing, shows an image of I Gusti Agung.
The case of I Gusti Agung Bimantara Putra remains unsolved, and his current whereabouts are unknown. The investigation is being handled by the McIntosh County Sheriff's Office. This case is a painful reminder of the complexities and heartaches that can arise from familial disputes. The central issue revolves around the alleged abduction of a young child by his non-custodial parent, a situation that has unfortunately left many questions unanswered and a family incomplete. The hope for a safe return and resolution persists for all those affected by his absence.
