DETALLES:

(Oxnard, Calif)– El Departamento de Policía de Oxnard está solicitando la asistencia del público en localizar una niña desaparecida. La niña desaparecida, Kimberly López, de cuatro años, fue vista por última vez el 10 de marzo del 2015 en una residencia en la cuadra 900 de Denver Place en Oxnard, California.

La última vez que fue vista estaba en la custodia de su padre, Omar Misael López, 31 años de edad, de Oxnard. Anteriormente Kimberly era una dependiente de la Corte Juvenil del Condado de Ventura. La custodia de Kimberly se entregó a Omar por la Corte Juvenil y el caso se destituyo en marzo del 2015 después de que Omar cumplió los servicios requeridos. La madre de Kimberly, Mayra Chávez López, 25 años de edad, recibió visitaciones supervisadas de casa con Kimberly. Las visitas deberían ser supervisadas por Omar y María López, la madre de Mayra. La última vez que fue vista Kimberly fue durante una visita de casa por trabajadores sociales del Departamento de Niños y Familias del Condado de Ventura (VCCFS) el 10 de marzo del 2015, poco después de la destitución del caso.
Después de recibir una llamada en julio del 2016 de preocupación de su bienestar, trabajadores sociales de VCCFS hicieron varias visitas de casa para comprobar el bienestar de Kimberly. Omar y María ofrecieron a los trabajadores sociales información que no estaba verificada de que Kimberly estaba viviendo con parientes en México. Después de varias visitas de casa, ni Omar o Mayra proveyeron documentación o prueba de que Kimberly estaba viviendo con parientes en México. VCCFS notifico al Departamento de Policía de Oxnard el 7 de septiembre del 2016, que Kimberly estaba desparecida y aún sin localizar. Un reporte de Persona Desaparecida se tomó e investigadores inmediatamente empezaron a buscar a Kimberly. En septiembre del 2016, VCCFS inicio un nuevo caso de dependencia para Kimberly y la Corte Juvenil del Condado de Ventura ha emitido una orden para que Kimberly sea puesta bajo la custodia de protección cuando se encuentre.
Detectives de la Unidad de Delitos Mayores del Departamento de Policía de Oxnard, junto con la Oficina del Fiscal del Condado de Ventura, Oficina del Alguacil de Ventura y El Departamento de Investigación Federal (FBI) están trabajando con diligencia con el intento de localizar a la desaparecida Kimberly López. Investigadores han entrevistado miembros de la familia, amigos y asociados de Mayra y Omar que han expresado preocupación de la desaparición de Kimberly y están asistiendo a los representantes de la ley.
Omar y Mayra se encuentran en custodia bajo órdenes de arresto civiles por falta de proveer información veraz sobre el paradero de Kimberly. Omar y Mayra tienen parientes que viven en varias diferentes ciudades en México. Investigadores saben que Omar y Mayra viajaron a México varias veces durante el periodo de tiempo que fue vista por última vez Kimberly.
Kimberly López es una niña de 4 años, Hispana, y de piel clara. Kimberly tiene cabello café y ojos castaños. Ella mide aproximadamente 3 pies de estatura y probablemente pesa de 40 a 50 libras.
El Departamento de Policía de Oxnard está ofreciendo una recompensa de $10,000 a cualquier persona con información que dirija a los investigadores al paradero de Kimberly López. Detectives piden que cualquier persona que tenga información del paradero de Kimberly López llame a la línea Telefónica al (805) 200-2370. Para preguntas de medios de comunicación por favor póngase en contacto con la Gerente de Asuntos Comunitarios Melissa Valdez al (805) 342-8292.
