10-Year-Old Boy Found Safe After Amber Alert, Mother Killed in Wilmer, Texas

WILMER, Texas – A 10-year-old boy who was the subject of an Amber Alert has been safely reunited with his family, according to authorities. The alert has now been canceled.

Ian Aguilar, aged 10, was found unharmed in Mexico and brought back to the United States, as reported by KXAS, citing police sources. The young boy had gone missing on November 14 after he was last seen at his home in Wilmer. Distressingly, his mother was found dead at the scene, according to KDFW.

The police had issued an Amber Alert for Ian, and investigators were on the lookout for his father, 38-year-old Juan Aguilar-Cano, in connection with the case. However, his father’s whereabouts still remain unknown, leaving many questions unanswered.

The family’s relief at Ian’s safe return is immeasurable. The ordeal had left them anxious and desperate for answers. Authorities have not released any further details about the circumstances leading to Ian’s disappearance or his mother’s tragic death.

Amber Alerts are emergency notifications issued to the public when children are believed to be in immediate danger. These alerts, named after Amber Hagerman, a young girl who was abducted and murdered in Texas in 1996, have helped recover many missing children over the years.

It is heartening to know that Ian has been found unharmed and reunited with his family. However, there is still much work to be done in this case. Law enforcement agencies will continue their efforts to locate Juan Aguilar-Cano and determine the circumstances surrounding the abduction and the tragic loss of Ian’s mother.

As the investigation progresses, authorities urge anyone with information about Juan Aguilar-Cano’s whereabouts or any details related to the case to come forward and assist in bringing justice to Ian’s family.

The community is encouraged to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activities that may aid in resolving this distressing incident.
