The grandmother of Ozana Cisneros, the 7-month-old baby who has been missing for more than a month, wants an Amber Alert related to her disappearance reinstated.
Christy Rodriguez, Cisneros’ paternal grandmother, told News 4 San Antonio that he wishes the alert were still out there to aid the search for the baby. Cisneros has been missing since June 10, but the alert wasn’t issued until July 9.
“I just want to have faith in the Lord that she’s somewhere out there,” Rodriguez said. “I would want to know where she was this whole time and if she’s healthy, if she’s OK, and as long as she’s breathing.”
Cisneros was last seen around 6 p.m. June 10 in the 330 block of Roosevelt Avenue. She is about 2 feet tall, weighs about 20 pounds, and has brown eyes and black hair.
To issue an Amber Alert, Texas guidelines state that authorities must have a reasonable belief that the child was abducted and is in serious danger of being injured or dying.
The investigating law enforcement agency for an Amber Alert can lift the notice when it feels it has exhausted its investigative leads, even if the person is still missing. The San Antonio Police Department was the investigating agency for Cisneros’ alert.
“The alert has not produced any leads, and SAPD continues to investigate,” acting Police Chief Jesse Salame told the San Antonio Express-News after the alert was lifted on July 13.
Maximina Cisneros was found safe on July 10 near Mission Concepción. Investigators discovered skeletal remains nearby, but police said it’s unclear whether the remains are human.
Anyone with information about Ozana Cisneros’ whereabouts is urged to call 911 immediately.
