2 children in AMBER Alert from DeWitt County found safe; suspect missing in San Antonio, authorities say

Officials searching for Julian Ribera in connection with the abduction

Two young children reported missing from Yorktown were found safe in San Antonio on Wednesday, but the man believed to be connected to their abduction has not been found, according to authorities.

The DeWitt County Sheriff’s Office said they were searching for Angel Ribera, 5, and Aiydann Ribera, 4. DeWitt County is located just southeast of San Antonio.

An AMBER Alert was previously issued for the two missing children and Julian Ribera, 24.

Authorities said they searched an area in San Antonio along Austin Highway, but the apartment they went to was vacant. They eventually found Julian Ribera’s car in the 8800 block of Starcrest after he dropped off the kids with someone in the area of Carriage Drive, police said. The children are safe.

Julian Ribera is still on the run. He is 5 feet 11 inches tall, 175 pounds, with brown hair and black eyes. He was driving a black 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe with Texas license plate number FVK0342.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the DeWitt County Sheriff’s Office at 361-275-5734.
