Police issue Amber Alert for Newark teenager, baby

DISPATCH STATE SERVICE

Newark, OH - police issued an Amber Alert yesterday for a 16-year-old girl and her infant child after the teenager’s mother reported them missing.

Detectives think Ella Casey and her child, Marteen Casey, were abducted by the child’s father, 29-year-old Prisciliano Quinones, also known as Chano, said Police Sgt. Erik McKee.

Quinones is Latino and has brown hair and eyes. He is about 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 140 pounds.

Between 2 a.m. and 9 a.m., Quinones arrived at the home Ella Casey shares with her mother, Karen Casey, along the 300 block of N. 21 st Street in Newark, McKee said. Quinones fled with the teen and their 16-month-old child in a maroon 1992 Ford Taurus stolen from Karen Casey. The Ohio license plate number is DVN4446.

The Amber Alert has been broadcast as far south as Florida, where Quinones could have family, and extends southwest to Mexico, where Quinones is originally from.

Detectives suspect that Quinones might be living illegally in the United States, McKee said. It remains unclear what circumstances led to the abduction.

This seems to be prevalent with the culture. Grown men, teen girls, babies, kidnapping at gunpoint. Just more of those Arbusto family values, I guess...

Parents uncertain when teen, baby will return

For nearly two days, Manuel and Maria Vargas of Marietta had no idea how to find their teenage daughter and infant grandson, who were allegedly abducted at gunpoint by their daughter's boyfriend on Thanksgiving eve.

On Saturday, a day after police tracked the children to a mobile home park in southeastern North Carolina, the Vargases still weren't sure where their 15-year-old girl or her 8-month-old baby were, except in the custody of North Carolina's Department of Social Services.

The Vargases seemed content to wait out the weekend in the knowledge that Crystal Vargas and her son, Sergio Hernandez Jr., were safe — even if they weren't with the Vargases in their Cobb County home.

"They're safe, they're OK. We're going to wait and see what happens," Manuel Vargas said.

The boyfriend, Sergio Hernandez, who is 21 or 22, was arrested and is jailed pending a Monday hearing on his return to Georgia, said Kenneth Sealey, who is sheriff of Robeson County, where the children were found.

Hernandez forced Crystal and Sergio to leave with him at gunpoint Wednesday night, police said when they put out the child abduction bulletin, known in Georgia as a Levi's Call and nationally as an Amber Alert.

Saturday, the Vargases weren't sure when the family might be reunited.

"The detective said it might possibly be Monday," Vargas said.

North Carolina authorities went to the mobile home park after someone reported seeing Hernandez's red 1997 Buick Riveria, which had been publicized in the Levi's Call.

They think Hernandez knew people living in the mobile home, said North Carolina Highway Patrol Lt. John McNeill.

Sealey, the Robeson sheriff, said Crystal and Sergio were placed in a foster home Friday night, pending plans to send them back to Georgia, but he didn't have details of how that would occur.

Efforts to reach the North Carolina child welfare agency were unsuccessful.

15-year-old girl or her 8-month-old baby

This child was 14 when she had the baby. What about statutory rape? Is that another law being ignored?

I have a feeling this stuff is going to be happening alot more frequently. When my oldest was in Jr. High there was a girl who took off with a Mexican boy and were running away to Mexico together. Her parents didn't approve of him.......not because he was Mexican but because he was always in trouble. Fortunatly they didn't make it across the border. I mean "running away" used to be to the next town......now it's another country. I've heard from alot of women who are in marraiges with these type of men and they constantly threaten to take the kids and go back to Mexico and they'd never see their kids again.
