AMBER Alert in San Antonio Ends Safely: Two Children Found

What Happened? (The Quick Version)

An AMBER Alert is a special emergency message sent out when a child goes missing and might be in danger. Think of it like a giant "LOST" poster that goes to everyone’s phones, TVs, and highway signs at the same time.

On Saturday morning in San Antonio, Texas, an AMBER Alert went out for two siblings. Good news: they have been found safe!


The Timeline: Step by Step

1. The Disappearance (Saturday, 1:00 AM)

  • Who: Fidely Alvarez Mauricio (age 10) and Neidy Alvarez Mauricio (age 13)
  • Where: 1200 block of Logwood Avenue, South Side of San Antonio
  • With whom: Pedro Alvarez-Castillo (age 48)

2. The Alert Goes Out

  • Police believed the children were in grave or immediate danger
  • An AMBER Alert was issued to the public
  • Pedro Alvarez-Castillo was wanted for possibly abducting (taking without permission) the children

3. The Update (10:15 AM Same Day)

ALERT DISCONTINUED — The Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed both children were found.

4. What We Still Don’t Know

  • It is unclear if Pedro Alvarez-Castillo was also located
  • KSAT (the news station) has asked the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) for confirmation
  • We are waiting for an official update from police

What the Children Were Wearing (In Case You Saw Them)

How to Help (If You Have Information)

If you saw something or know something, here is what to do:

  1. Emergency? Call 911 right away
  2. Have a tip but not an emergency? Call SAPD at 210-207-7660
  3. Stay safe — do not approach anyone yourself; let police handle it

What Is an AMBER Alert? (ELI5 Explanation)

AMBER stands for America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response.

It was named after Amber Hagerman, a 9-year-old girl who was kidnapped in 1996. After her death, people wanted a faster way to spread the word when a child goes missing.

How it works: When police believe a child has been abducted and is in danger, they send an alert to:

  • Cell phones (that loud buzzing sound!)
  • TV and radio stations
  • Highway electronic signs
  • Social media

The goal: Get as many eyes looking as possible, as fast as possible.


Summary

  • Two missing children (ages 10 and 13) have been found safe after an AMBER Alert in San Antonio
  • They were last seen with a 48-year-old man wanted for possible abduction
  • It is still unknown if that man has been located — police are being asked for an update
  • If you have any information, call 911 (emergency) or 210-207-7660 (non-emergency tip line)
  • AMBER Alerts save lives by getting the whole community involved quickly

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What does "AMBER Alert discontinued" mean?

It means the emergency alert has been turned off because the children have been located. The immediate danger phase is over.

2. Was the man (Pedro Alvarez-Castillo) arrested?

We don’t know yet. The update only said the children were found. KSAT has asked police, but there’s no public confirmation as of this article.

3. What should I do if I saw them earlier?

Call 210-207-7660 (SAPD’s non-emergency line for this case) or 911 if it’s urgent. Even small details can help investigators.

4. How often do AMBER Alerts happen?

Not very often. They are only used for the most serious cases where a child is believed to be abducted and in immediate danger. Most missing children cases don’t meet the strict criteria.

5. Can I get AMBER Alerts on my phone?

Yes! They are sent automatically to all modern smartphones (Wireless Emergency Alerts). You don’t need to sign up — but make sure you don’t have them turned off in your phone’s settings.
