Desperate Search for Missing Sacramento Children Leads to Endangered Missing Advisory Across California

In a heartbreaking turn of events, authorities have issued an endangered missing advisory for two young children from Sacramento, 4-year-old Athena and 2-year-old Mateo Lee, who have gone missing following the tragic death of their mother, Angelica Bravo. The search for the children has now expanded to seven California counties, including San Diego, as investigators believe their father, 38-year-old Cameron Lee, may have taken them and potentially crossed the border into Mexico.

Urgent Plea for Information as Authorities Scramble to Locate Missing Children

Tragic Circumstances Surrounding the Disappearance

The investigation into this case has revealed a deeply troubling set of circumstances. Angelica Bravo, the mother of the missing children, was found dead inside her Sacramento home on Monday night. Detectives were unable to locate the children or their father, Cameron Lee, after discovering Bravo's body. This has led to the belief that Lee may have taken the children and fled the area, potentially heading towards Southern California or even across the border into Mexico.The relationship between Bravo and Lee was reportedly tumultuous, with Bravo's family stating that she had confided in them about the abuse she had endured in the days leading up to her death. Tragically, it seems that this volatile situation may have escalated, with the children now caught in the middle of this tragic turn of events.

Expanding the Search Across California

In response to the urgent situation, authorities have issued an endangered missing advisory for Athena and Mateo Lee, covering seven California counties: Fresno, Kern, Kings, Los Angeles, Merced, Orange, and San Diego. This wide-ranging alert is an attempt to gather as much information as possible and increase the chances of locating the missing children.According to the authorities, the children were last seen in the Sacramento area, and their father, Cameron Lee, is believed to be driving a gray, 2023 Honda Passport with the California license plate 9JUS091. The California Highway Patrol has urged the public to be on the lookout for the vehicle and the children, and to immediately contact 911 if they are spotted.

Crossing the Border into Mexico: A Concerning Development

The investigation has taken an even more troubling turn, as authorities have revealed that the 2023 Honda Passport driven by Cameron Lee has been tracked crossing the border into Mexico. This development has complicated the search, as it means the criteria for an AMBER Alert has not been met, as the children are believed to be outside of the United States.Despite this setback, the Sacramento Police Department is working closely with their law enforcement partners and the media to share this information as widely as possible, in the hopes of generating leads and locating the missing children. The family of Angelica Bravo has also expressed their concern, stating that Lee had previously mentioned the possibility of moving to Guadalajara, Mexico, which could be a potential destination for the missing pair.

Urgent Call for Public Assistance

As the search for Athena and Mateo Lee continues, authorities are urging the public to come forward with any information that could aid in the investigation. The Sacramento Police Department has set up a tip line at 916-808-0560, and they are asking anyone who may have seen the children, the vehicle, or their father to immediately contact the police.Time is of the essence in cases like this, and the public's assistance could be crucial in bringing these children home safely. The heartbreak and uncertainty surrounding this situation have left the community reeling, and the authorities are doing everything in their power to ensure that Athena and Mateo are found and reunited with their loved ones.
