The three children above are 11-year-old Fernando, 7-year-old Karla and 6-year-old Oscar Casanova. They are believed at this point to have been abducted by the father of two of the children (although all share his last name) Benito O. Casanova. Benito Casanova may have been involved in the death of the children’s mother, Sophia Garcia.

Benito Casanova is 32, 6 foot 1 and around 230 lbs and is described as White Hispanic. He drives a silver or gray Dodge Dakota with an Illinois license plate number 86196HB. He may be heading to Mexico where he has family, but he also has family in California.

Anyone with information is asked to report tips to 312-746-8282 or call 911 and tell the operator you have information on an Amber alert.

Fox News has a bare bones report, ABC7 has video. The Chicago Tribune has a more detailed version of the crime.
