  • Maria Gomez-Perez lives with her father, Andres Gomez, and cousin, Ricky, in Gainesville, Georgia. Maria's mother is not involved in her life.
    On the morning of her disappearance, Andres leaves the house at 10 AM, assuming Maria is still asleep. He says goodbye to his nephew, Ricky, and heads out. When Gomez returns home that evening, Maria doesn’t greet him at the door. Concerned, he knocks on her bedroom door, only to find that his daughter is missing. The family frantically contacts neighbors and friends in search of her. Maria is reported missing.
    Nearly two months later, the case takes a turn. Maria contacts her father via Facebook Messenger. Investigators trace the IP address and manage to locate the device. Maria is found with 34-year-old Antonio Augustin, a Guatemalan native living in northeastern Ohio. Police believe Maria had been communicating with Augustin online for some time.

      One night while my brother in law, ( a Chicago Police Homicide Investigator at the time, now retired) was waiting for the Marine patrol to retrieve two bodies found floating in a harbor when a reporter came running up with a phone in his hand, gushing I've contacted their relatives! Would you like to talk to them? ( it turned out that the remains of two elderly people a husband and wife who were both terminally ill with the wife being confined to a wheelchair, they had chosen to die together leaving their car as the only vehicle in a nearby lot, the reporter had taken it on himself to somehow run the plate and assuming the owner of the car was one of the victims had contacted the relatives) my furious brother in law sent that phone into the middle of the harbor, when the reporter filed a complaint it was he who found himself in hot water as he got charged with interfering in a police investigation, misuse of official resources, and trespassing on city property,( the park was closed as it was the middle of the night) he wound up losing his job.

Doesn't matter if her dad is working all the time, the parents are to be blamed for these kinds of things.

I don't care if you scare them bc predators are far better & smarter than most parents give them credit for. There's apps that they use to message you're child but then either person can delete the message.You're child might have a school logo on their shirt they post & that alone gives the predator a lot of information even their school. You need to watch everything you're child is doing online & limit the time they can be on the computer. I feel for parents & children today bc of the internet it's only a click of a button.

      Of course I can't speak for all parents, no one can. I work in a child and adolescent behavior hospital. I believe a lot of parents know and tell their children about this. The children just refuse to listen. SMH!!! Children can get on computers at school and do stuff. They can go to a friends house and use the friend's computer. Go to a library and other places where you can just hop on a computer. Also, sometimes, kids get "secret" phones to use. I'm not excusing parents. But children find ways to "do stuff". Long time ago, kids would sneak out of the house, out of the window without the parents knowing. Some people are just too crafty for their own good.

They were both still approached, one online the other walking down the street-but-they told me because we talked about those kinds of people and their sick tactics they didn't fall for it.

Guess there is something there when you keep the sickness in your family.
      My point is evil has been around. Women were not told about what men expected so back then Women were basically rated on their wedding nights because it was to tabu to talk about such things. Maybe Women need to learn more about the history of women. None of these things were even discussed. My aunts never told me what happened. By asking questions, I figured out what was happening. Thank God by the time I was in high school we women wanted more control over our bodies and with feminism we paved the roads for women today. Man is still evil and we continually need to figure out how to stop these crimes from happening.

    Yep parenting is key. Years ago when my son was a teen I overheard a man saying weird things. Things I have heard watching crime shows. That creep and his entire community was blocked off my son's devices shortly after. At first he was devastated that I would take away these 'friends'. I had to sit down with him and show him parts of crime stories, show him the grooming words and how they were the same as the ones used on him. He got it, and it confused him so bad, hurt him that men would be like that. He adjusted his views on friends, and now most of his internet friends are his age and have similar personalities. I know because I have met them, they live in my town, and I know their parents. The others I don't have to worry about anymore because he blocks the weirdos himself. He has distance friends but they have for years now displayed normal habits. So kids need intensive parenting if your going to let them have devices, like 10 times more parenting, just to keep up with the changing ways of predators. Personally I wish I had waited another 2-3 years, until he was 18 before I let play on the internet, he didn't understand what was out there. Just so glad I was there every tick of the clock to guide him away from that, and that those creeps didn't get to him. Please be extra vigilant if you let your kids online. Prayers for this little girl, prayers of peace and healing, prayers no one ever hurts her again, prayers to her loved ones. May God's grace lead all our children to safety 🙏✝️🙏

      Or maybe something was wrong at home. It’s a parenting problem, not a child “moving too fast.” She didn’t want to go home. Major red flag 🚩

      To say that she was moving too fast is ridiculous! She was only 12! I very much doubt that she knew she was talking to predators.

      @@ET-fk8ty sorry but I am not sugar coating my comments this young girl was talking to multiple men on line , not only that she did not want to go home , but insisted she wanted to stay with this pedophile…. Her behavior is not a child like if you ask me .. 🤷‍♀️

    Glad she’s found but parents needs to monitor who their kids are taking to. Talk to them so they can share with their parents what and who they are talking to. This doesn’t remind me of Maddie Soto but the girl who left her home to go to 7-Eleven at night she made conversation with the killers and where was her mom at home.

      That young lady's Mom was asleep. It was 10 pm when they were supposed to go to sleep because she was going to go to work with her Mom the next day. Instead the daughter snuck out of the apartment to go to 7-11 while the Mother was sleeping. She was on the phone with her boyfriend at the 7-11 because he reported hearing male voices in the background. The two men who ended up killing her had pretended they were lost and she was helping them to find there way home. Some kids sneak out at night after their other family members are asleep.
