ST. GEORGE — Police and family members are searching for two children who went missing from St. George and are believed by authorities to possibly be endangered. The children were last seen in St. George on Wednesday, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
The children’s non-custodial father, Ricardo Lopez, 51, is suspected of abducting 11-year-old Jesus Lopez and 9-year-old Angel Lopez from St. George, the St. George Police Department said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
“(Lopez) is recently divorced from the boy’s mother, who has sole custody,” police said. “Ricardo was to take the boys to school (Wednesday) morning but they never arrived.”
Lopez is believed to be headed to Tijuana, Mexico, with the two children in a red 2007 Dodge Caliber with Utah license plate E46 2AC, officials said, noting that the Dodge Caliber is pulling a trailer covered by a blue tarp.
The St. George Police Department is actively working with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children regarding the case.

Thoughts? For some odd reason, the official National Center for Missing & Exploited Children website only mentions the children may be with their father but does not mention Ricardo specifically.
