Max-Gian Alcalde

Last seen in Boise, Idaho on November 26, 2008

Vital statistics: White male. Born on October 31, 2001. Light brown hair, blue eyes. He has a scar on the top of his head that is only noticeable if his hair is pulled back or parted. He is described as active and social. Last seen wearing a t-shirt and jeans. Was seven at the time.

NCIC number: M-617857087

Circumstances: Max-Gian's parents divorced in 2007. His parents shared custody but his mother, Margaret Jeanne Dunbar, claimed his father, Marco Alcalde, had a problem with alcohol. This was found to be baseless and Dunbar had difficulty getting her son to school; he had nine unexcused absences and was tardy twenty-six times all while in his mother's case. He was picked up at school on the above date for a twelve day visitation with his mother. A photo and vital statistics are posted below. He called his father from an airport and told him that they were going to visit his older brother in California and later visit in Nevada. He did not attend school on the first of December and has not been seen since; he and his mother never visited friends in Nevada. An FBI Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution warrant was issued for the abductor on December 11, 2008. They are believed to have left the country and may be in Mexico, Latin America, or the Caribbean islands. They may also be in Florida, Hawaii, southern California or Arizona.
