An Amber Alert was issued across several California counties for 14-year-old Diana Galvez Ortega and her 38-year-old father, Sergio Galvez Perez. The alert followed the August 1 discovery of a newborn, known as ‘Baby Angelita,’ found dead near Moss Landing in Monterey County. Authorities sought the pair in a white Nissan Altima, with Perez facing felony charges including incest, rape, and child endangerment. While initial reports questioned the teenager's involvement in the infant's death, the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office clarified she was a victim of her father’s abuse.

In a subsequent operation involving the FBI and Mexican authorities, the teenager was successfully rescued in Mexico. During the rescue, Sergio Galvez Perez was arrested and found in possession of narcotics. He remains facing multiple felony charges related to the alleged abuse of his daughter.
