Georgia police have issued an Amber Alert for a missing six-year-old Forsyth County girl and her mother, who investigators believe was taken against their will the day after Christmas.
"The last known contact by the mother and child to other family members was on Sunday just after 5 p.m.," investigators said.
Balvanera Esperanz Parada-Olivas and her daughter, Rachel Zecena, are believed to have been forcefully taken by the child's father, identified as 55-year-old Alexis R. Zecena-Lopez. Esperanz allegedly disappeared after she dropped her boyfriend off at an area hospital and that was around 5 p.m. She informed her boyfriend that she was going to pick Rachel up from her ex-husband's house.
Authorities said Zecena-Lopez might be armed.
"The concern comes because her ex-husband is currently out on bond, awaiting trial for the kidnap and rape of Esperanz and we received information that he cut off an ankle monitor sometime overnight as well," said Cumming Police Chief David Marsh.
The trio could be traveling in a 2016 black Ford Focus with Georgia tag RVX9470.
"We believe they are all traveling together and we are trying to track down any investigative lead about maybe where they are going and their whereabouts currently," said Chief Marsh. According to the investigators, Zecena-Lopez is a 5-feet-8-inches tall man with brown eyes and black hair weighing 175 pounds. Anyone with any information about them can inform the Cumming Police Department at 770-781-3087 or call 911.
