Raw: Two toddlers abandoned on I-10 by kidnapping suspect

BAYTOWN – Police are still searching for the man who allegedly abandoned two small children along I-10 on Saturday.

Onil Ramos, a 25-year-old illegal immigrant from Honduras, faces kidnapping charges.

According to investigators, Ramos forces his way into his girlfriend’s car in Pasadena Saturday and took off with the woman and her two small children inside.

She told investigators he threatened her life as they drove on I-10.

When the car’s hood suddenly popped up, Ramos was forced to pull over near the San Jacinto River Bridge on I-10.

The unidentified girlfriend got out of the car to put the hood down and Ramos drove away with the children, ages 2 and 3, still inside.

The woman called police and a manhunt began.

About four hours later, police found the children and the car on I-10 near Thompson Road.

There was no sign of Ramos.
