The Attorney General's Office in Ecuador has issued an Alerta Emilia for three missing minors from Conocoto, a district in the southeast of Quito. The urgent search alert was activated on Sunday, June 28, 2026, to solicit public information that could help locate Maykel Paúl Curay Vaca, Darianyelis Valeria Rosales, and Luis Eduardo Torres Ojito.
According to the alert, the three children were last seen on June 27, 2026, around 7:00 AM in the Jaime Roldós Aguilera and Rafael Cajiao sector of Conocoto. These children were among eight who reportedly left a children's home, María Campi de Yoder, in the same area. Authorities are actively searching for these three specific minors.
Darianyelis Valeria Rosales is a 12-year-old Venezuelan national, 1.50 meters tall, with brown eyes, olive skin, and brown hair. Maykel Paul Curay Vaca is a 12-year-old Ecuadorian, 1.65 meters tall, with brown eyes, olive skin, and black hair. Luis Eduardo Torres Ojito is a 10-year-old Venezuelan, 1.45 meters tall, with brown eyes, fair skin, and brown hair. The clothing worn by the children at the time of their disappearance is unknown, and they have no reported illnesses or disabilities.
The Alerta Emilia is a critical tool in Ecuador, designed to rapidly share information about missing children and adolescents. Its primary goal is to broaden the search efforts by engaging the public, ensuring that any information regarding the children's whereabouts can be reported immediately to the authorities. The public is urged to contact ECU 911 or 1800 DELITO (335486) with any relevant information.
