Abducted California Boy May Have Been Found in Mexico
Saturday , May 16, 2009


SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. —

A child matching the description of a 3-year-old boy snatched from his home by two armed men may have been found alive in Mexico, authorities said Saturday.

San Bernardino County Sheriff's detectives and FBI agents received a call from officials in the border town of Mexicali on Friday that they found a boy that could be Briant Rodriguez, department spokeswoman Cindy Beavers said.

That night, investigators and the boy's mother, Maria Rosalina Millan, flew to the neighboring city of Calexico and were waiting to see the child and confirm his identity, Beavers said.

"It seems the process to make an identification in a case like this is quite different in Mexico than the U.S.," Beavers said. "We're trying to be very patient and we're very hopeful. Very hopeful

I'm trying to understand why these men took Briant. They didn't ask for a ransom, so was it to send a message to the family? Hopefully some kind of sense will be made out of this, and hopefully they will arrest the men that are responsible.

LOS ANGELES – Officials in Mexico have found a child they believe is a 3-year-old boy abducted from his California home but that country's identification process is slowing the family's ability to confirm the child's identity, authorities said Saturday.

Detectives in San Bernardino County and FBI agents received a call from Mexican officials in the border town of Mexicali on Friday saying that they had found a boy that could be Briant Rodriguez, sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Beavers said.

She said investigators and the boy's mother, Maria Rosalina Millan, flew to the neighboring city of Calexico to see the child and confirm his identity. Mexican officials were seeking the boy's birth certificate and other paperwork as part of that country's identification process before Millan can see the child.

Sheriff's Lt. Rick Ells said the process could also require a physical and mental exam by child protective social workers, which may not happen until Monday. The birth certificate also must be authenticated.

"While we're frustrated about the wait, we're hopeful that it is him and that he's OK," Ells said.

Authorities said Briant was abducted May 3 by two armed men who burst into his home, tied up Millan and other family members and stole money and property. The kidnappers have not demanded a ransom and no motive had been established.

San Bernardino is about 60 miles east of Los Angeles

Geez, let the woman see her child!

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (Map, News) -
Forensic experts searched a public park late into the night for evidence of who buried the body of a little boy in the playground's sand.

The investigation began Friday afternoon when a woman who took her children to the city park in Albuquerque spotted part of child's shoe sticking out of the sand. She called police.

Investigators later found the body of a boy they believe is between the ages of 3 and 5.

Forensic experts with the state's Office of the Medical Investigator told police the boy could not have been dead longer than 48 hours, police spokesman John Walsh said.

Police had received no reports of missing children in the day before the discovery, Albuquerque Police Chief Ray Schultz told a news conference. Schultz said the boy may be from the neighborhood surrounding Alvarado Park but wouldn't elaborate.

"This is one of those cases where I think every minute counts," Schultz said, appealing to the public for help.

Schultz would not say whether there were any wounds on the body.

The boy was wearing a red shirt with the image of a four-wheel drive truck on the front, black nylon pants with red stripes and black shoe

After reading this this morning..I was sad..
THEN I had to go with our boyscout troop on an adventure.. While we were out I got a call from Gloria Denton at 7 a.m. who told me that this 3 year old child was Briant was found in Mexico. She got the info from somebody we both know..
The boy had a note on him.. "I have been abducted from usa"

SO .. This is great news.. I am very elated as it gives me hope for many cases of abducted..
I thought he was dead for sure..

BUT ..Who is this child found buried in a park playground ??
NOW That is a mystery ..

Briant Rodriguez found safe in Mexico
By Stacia Glenn
Posted: 05/16/2009 08:26:11 AM PDT


This is what 3-year-old Briant Rodriguez would look like with short hair. (National Center for Missing & Exploited Children)Investigators confirmed this afternoon that the boy discovered in Mexicali is 3-year-old Briant Rodriguez, who was abducted from his San Bernardino home two weeks ago.

Briant was reunited at 4:15 p.m. with his mother, Rosalina Millan, who flew to Calexico Friday afternoon with San Bernardino County sheriff's investigators. Mexico officials notified local authorities Friday that a boy matching the description of Briant had been dropped off at a government building in border town Mexicali.

A 6 p.m. news conference has been called, where sheriff's officials said they would discuss details of the case.

The boy is safe but his head has been shaved. Briant's missing child photograph showed him with shoulder length brown curly hair, but Millan repeatedly said that her son's captors could have cut his hair.

There was no sign of the kidnappers when investigators arrived in Mexico.

Investigators have been meeting with Mexican officials since Friday afternoon. There was a delay in confirming Briant's identity because Mexican officials asked for the boy's birth certificate and other supporting documents to help in the identification process.

Briant was taken from his Pedley Road home on May 3 by two armed men who ransacked his family's house, tied up Millan and four of his siblings before abducting the boy and saying he was taking Briant to Mexico to kill him.

No motive has been established and the kidnappers did not demand a ransom.

I'll wait to move this thread until after the 6pm news conference. 

Wonderful to have some good news for a change!  Still very odd circumstances surrounding this abduction and subsequent $50,000 reward

The FBI and San Bernardino Sheriff's department put up the reward.  I don't believe anyone has tried to get the reward.  I agree that somehow this has to be drug related even if by mistaken identity.  There has to be a reason the FBI and Sheriff's department was willing to put up $25,000 each.
