California authorities issued an Amber Alert Sunday for 14-year-old Diana Galvez Ortega, believed abducted by her father, 38-year-old Sergio Galvez Perez, according to California Highway Patrol. The pair were last seen in a white Nissan Altima without license plates near Constitution Boulevard and East Laurel Drive in Salinas. Perez faces three felony counts including rape and kidnapping of his daughter.
The alert spans 11 counties across California and is tied to the death of a newborn found in Moss Landing last month, Monterey Herald reported. Authorities urge the public not to approach the vehicle or suspects. Anyone who spots them should call 911 immediately and provide location and direction information.
Wide Search Across California Counties
The Amber Alert covers Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Kern, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, Orange, and Imperial counties, ABC7 News reported. The vehicle lacks license plates, making conventional tracking difficult. Authorities expanded the alert across major travel corridors to increase chances of recognition by drivers, businesses, and law enforcement.
Connection to Dead Newborn Investigation
Diana's disappearance is linked to the discovery of a deceased infant called "Baby Angelita" in Moss Landing one month ago, according to Pajaronian. The combination of the infant's death and allegations of sexual assault against Diana elevated the urgency of the search. Authorities treat this as a continuing threat to the teenager's safety, not a routine disappearance.
Description of Missing Teen and Suspect
Diana Galvez Ortega is described as a Hispanic girl, 4 feet 10 inches tall, weighing about 100 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, NBC Los Angeles reported. Her father, Sergio Galvez Perez, is 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighs about 170 pounds, and also has black hair and brown eyes. Both were last seen together on surveillance video in Salinas on Sunday morning.
What Witnesses Should Do If They See Them
Anyone who spots Diana, Perez, or the white Nissan Altima should not approach them, NBC Bay Area emphasized. Instead, witnesses should record the location, direction of travel, and vehicle details before calling 911 immediately. Approaching the suspect could endanger Diana, compromise evidence, or trigger a violent response. The missing license plates make the vehicle's description especially critical to investigators.
