There isn’t anything in the news about this little girl’s disappearance. The missing poster issued by The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children does not shed much more light on the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

Bare in mind, the child is 2-years-old. Here is what the missing poster has to say about Isuara Rodriguez’ disappearance:

Isuara was last seen on July 10, 2009. She may still be in the local area or she may travel to Mexico.¹

The NCMEC usually reserves the above type narrative for runaway teens not toddlers. I am trying to picture this toddler just ‘hanging out’ in the local area or traveling on her own to Mexico. It would be helpful to mention if the girl was taken by a relative or non-custodial parent or a stranger or just simply wandered off.

Isuara Rodriguez was last seen on July 10, 2009. She is a two-year-old Hispanic female with blonde hair and hazel eyes. She is 3’0″ tall and weighs 30lbs.

Should you have information about this case please call the Louisburg Police Department (Kansas) at 1-913-837-2300.

The NCMEC issued a corrected missing poster for Isuara. Her name has been updated to Isuara Rios-Rodriguez. Apparently she is still a free-spirited 2-year-old wandering about by herself.

July 13, 2009: 12 Noon PST

The NCMEC has issued another update to the original missing poster for Isaura Rios-Rodriguez. The case type has been changed from Endangered Missing to Family Abduction. It is alleged that Isaura’s mother, Verionica Rios Rodriguez, abducted her daughter. A felony warrant for kidnapping was issued today for Rodriguez. According to the missing poster the Rodriguez may have fled with her daughter to Minnesota or Mexico. If you have information about this case you are asked to call the Louisburg Police Department (Kansas) at 1-913-837-2300.

August 3, 2009

The missing poster for Isuara Rios-Rodriguez is no longer available on the NCMEC site. This could be for a number of reasons, i.e., updates to the poster, the case has been resolved and a confirmation e-mail has not been sent by the Poster Partner program.
