A Child Vanishes in New Mexico: The Disappearance of Andrew Escobar
Eleven-year-old Andrew Oliver Escobar was finally settling back in with his father in Albuquerque. Re-enrolled at his old elementary school, he was playing chess, learning . Then, on June 25, 2023, Andrew went to his mother's for a court-ordered weekend visit. He never came back.
In this first episode of our new season, we examine Andrew's disappearance and the painful reality facing families when a child is taken by a parent: that the system is rarely built for them. Andrew is now fourteen years old. His father has never stopped searching.
