American Children Missing in Mexico: State Department 'Aware of Reports of 2 Missing US Citizens'

Two American children have gone missing in northern Mexico exactly two weeks after the widely reported kidnappings of four adult U.S. citizens driving across the southern border. 

The District Attorney’s Office for the northeastern Mexican state of Nuevo León on Monday activated an Amber Alert for siblings Hugo Yarset Monfort Luna, 9, and his 16-year-old sister, Aranza Yosemiti Monfort Luna. The alert lists the nationalities of both children as American. 

The teenage girl and her younger brother were last spotted Friday leaving a home together in Real de San Felipe, a neighborhood in the municipality of García, Nuevo León state, Mexico. 

"Because of the circumstances of their disappearance, age and the time passed, the missing minors could find themselves in imminent danger," the alert said in Spanish.  


It’s unclear whether the children lived in Mexico or the United States. 

"We are aware of reports of two missing U.S. citizens in Mexico," a U.S. State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital Tuesday. "Due to privacy considerations, we have no further comment." 

The boy is described as 3-foot-6, with dark, straight brown hair and dark brown eyes and is missing a tooth on the lower jaw on the right side. The teen girl, described as 5-foot-2 with straight dark brown hair and a brown spot over her right cheek, was last seen wearing black pants, a pink shirt, a long gray sweater with blue sneakers, according to the local prosecutor’s office. She also reportedly had a black sweater tied around her waist and was carrying a brown handbag.

Fox News Digital also reached out to the FBI Tuesday but did not hear back before publication. 

The State Department's travel advisory for Mexico warns, "Violent crime – such as homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery – is widespread and common in Mexico. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in many areas of Mexico, as travel by U.S. government employees to certain areas is prohibited or restricted." 

Americans are warned to exercise "increased caution" when traveling to Nuevo León due to crime and kidnapping. 

Shanquella Robinson's family demands action after suspicious death in Mexico

The family of a North Carolina woman who died on vacation in Mexico is pleading with President Biden to take action as her alleged attacker remains on the loose. Charlotte resident Shanquella Robinson died after she was allegedly beaten by a traveling companion in popular tourist town San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico, but the suspect in the homicide sought by Mexican authorities has yet to be extradited from the U.S. Sue-Ann Robinson, an attorney for the Robinson family, (no relation) spoke with LiveNOW's Shirley Descorbeth about the family's demands and new developments in the case.

The children disappeared exactly two weeks after four Americans from South Carolina were fired upon and kidnapped while driving a minivan across the border from Brownsville, Texas, to the city of Matamoros in the northeastern Mexican state of Tamaulipas on March 3. Mexican authorities later rescued two of them, Latavia McGee and Eric Williams, alive and found the bodies of the two others, Zindell Brown and Shaeed Woodard, dead at a wooden shack on the outskirts of Matamoros.

In a separate case, the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office on Friday said they were asking for the public's assistance in locating Maria del Carmen Lopez, a U.S. citizen and California mother of seven, who was kidnapped from her residence in Pueblo Nuevo, Colima, Mexico, on Feb. 9.

    1. Don't worry about Tijuana, they live off of tourists almost 100%. Just don't go outside of downtown.

    2. Dont go to Tijuana , they got hawks to target for a kidnapping for ransom.
      If going to Mexico go to los cabos, lot safer

      It's the same advice and situational awareness when you visit ghettos in the US.

      Hawks can be from teenagers, normal looking adults, they will call on their phone they spotted a subject to kidnap, hawks may need money, and will do it, since it's hard to find a good job in Mexico.

    6. @JamesBrown don’t wear jeans with sandals or wear any shorts. Don’t take out an excessive amount of cash. Don’t look clueless, act like you know where you’re going and that you’re familiar with the place.

  7. The bad guys probably say if she can afford a house on both sides of the border she can afford the ransom.

    1. Wonder who the next presidents will be. Surely they will both have to answer for this pattern or collaborate together if this keeps happening. Republicans def ain’t gonna keep quiet either. Not to sound like a partisan hack either, but the border situations are getting completely out of hand too. And now xylathine on top of the synthetic drug crisis? Thought just American dealers were responsible. North America is reaching some kind of breaking point. I can feel it.

  9. How and why did they get to Veracruz????

    1. Veracruz has delicious tamales, shrimp, mojarra, lemon, banana as, pollo, and agua Jamaica mmmm yummy 😋

      From Monterrey, simply hold a sign that says "Please abduct me"....

      The defacto goto destination for kidnappers is always Veracruz because they have the ports controlled to get to Europe, Italy, and Russia /Iran

    2. 4:32 veracruz is actually not to far from nuevo leon

  10. these kids were probably flashing money.

  11. Likely ransom by CDN or CDG. The girl may be trafficked sexually (let’s pray this doesn’t happen) and hopefully American hear will save these two children as the CDG release of two did recently.
