On June 16, 2023, at approximately 4:00 p.m. in Ontario, California, Hansel was picked up by his father, Felipe De Jesus Quiroz-Jimenez, for a scheduled, unmonitored visit. At the end of the visit, Hansel was not returned to his mother, who shared legal custody of the child with his father at that time. It is alleged that Felipe De Jesus Quiroz-Jimenez drove Hansel to Mexico and has not returned, denying the child's mother her parental rights. At the time of pick-up, Felipe De Jesus Quiroz-Jimenez was driving a 2002 silver two door Volkswagen GTI with California Plate 7PHT055. They are believed to be in Mexico City, Mexico, with the family of Quiroz-Jimenez. They also have ties to or may visit Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, and Guerrero, Mexico.
