Overview
- An Amber Alert is active across multiple Central and Southern California counties for 14‑year‑old Diana Galvez Ortega and 38‑year‑old Sergio Galvez Perez, and authorities warn the public not to approach them.
- Sheriff’s investigators recently recovered surveillance footage that showed the pair together in a white Nissan Altima with no license plates, giving police the vehicle lead they previously lacked.
- The Monterey County District Attorney has charged Sergio Galvez Perez with multiple felony counts tied to alleged sexual abuse and related child‑endangerment offenses.
- The newborn known to investigators as 'Baby Angelita' was found along Struve Road and a postmortem exam on Aug. 1 found signs of traumatic injury.
- The district attorney’s office says it has not received a request to charge the 14‑year‑old and treats her as a victim, a stance that has drawn calls from advocates for trauma‑informed handling as the search continues and tips are urged to 911.
