Case Information
His mother, Maria Pacheco, took him for a routine well baby checkup at the LA-USC Medical Center in the 2000 block of Marengo Street. While in the pediatric clinic waiting room, a young woman struck up a friendly conversation with Pacheco, who was still recovering from her C-section and could not walk well. Elias began to cry, and the woman offered to hold him while Pacheco left in search of baby formula. When Pacheco returned, both the woman and Elias were gone. The woman is described as Hispanic, about 5'0 to 5'2 tall, 135 to 140 pounds, medium-dark complexion with black hair frosted a lighter color. Late 20s or early 30s, and appeared well-groomed. She has never been identified. Actual photos of Elias are unavailable since he disappeared shortly after birth. Sketch of abductor on the right.
