San Antonio police said the search continues after the alert produced no leads about the 7-month-old infant’s location.
SAN ANTONIO — Texas officials have discontinued an Amber Alert for 7-month-old Ozana Cisneros, but San Antonio police said Tuesday that the infant remains missing and investigators are continuing to search for her.
The Texas Department of Public Safety marked the alert discontinued Monday, four days after it was issued for Ozana and her 19-year-old mother, Maximina Cisneros. Acting San Antonio Police Chief Jesse Salame said the statewide alert had not produced new leads, but its cancellation did not mean the missing-child investigation had ended.
Ozana was last seen at about 6 p.m. June 10 at 331 Roosevelt Ave., according to the DPS alert. Authorities described her as about 2 feet tall and 20 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Police have not publicly explained where she may have been taken or why nearly a month passed before the Amber Alert was issued.
The alert initially included Maximina Cisneros, who had last been seen separately in early July. Authorities found her Friday afternoon at a vacant home in the 200 block of Parkview Drive near Mission Concepción. Police said she had unspecified injuries and was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
Ozana was not with her mother when officers entered the home. The discovery led police and federal and state agencies to expand their search in the surrounding South Side area. The FBI, Texas Rangers, DPS troopers and state criminal investigators assisted San Antonio police, according to officials.
Investigators also searched near Concepción Park, less than half a mile from the vacant home. Skeletal remains were found Friday night in the 600 block of East Theo Avenue while teams were working in the area. Police said they had not determined whether the remains were human or whether they had any connection to Ozana’s disappearance.
Authorities have not announced an identification or released laboratory findings connected to the remains. Police also have not said whether evidence found at the vacant house or in the park established what happened to Ozana after she was last seen June 10.
The distinction between an Amber Alert and an active missing-person investigation remained central to the case Tuesday. Amber Alerts are public emergency notifications, while police investigations can continue after an alert is withdrawn. San Antonio police said Ozana remains actively missing despite the state’s decision to discontinue the notice.
Police have not named a suspect or announced criminal charges directly tied to Ozana’s disappearance. Major questions remain about the infant’s location, the length of time between her last confirmed sighting and the alert, and the circumstances in which her mother was found.
The San Antonio Police Department continues to investigate, and no confirmed connection has been announced between Ozana and the remains found near Concepción Park. Authorities have asked anyone who sees the child or has information about her location to contact police or call 911.
