Utah teen, 14, vanishes on soda run while visiting family in Mexico

A Utah teenager vanished last month while visiting her family in Mexico.

Elizabeth “Ely” Gonzalez, 14, may have been abducted by her uncle after she failed to return from a trip to a convenience store in Mexico City on June 30, the FBI said Friday.

The 7th grader was last seen on surveillance video climbing into a taxi with her two young cousins the same day that the 4- and 6-year-old girls’ father Antonio Moreno “abruptly traveled” to the Mexican capital from Utah.

“The FBI believes Elizabeth was manipulated by an adult male, allegedly Moreno, to get into that taxi. We believe all four are traveling together,” the FBI’s Salt Lake City office said in a statement, emphasizing that Moreno did not have “permission” from any of the girls’ mothers to leave.

“Relatives have not seen or heard from them since. We believe the girls are in danger and still in Mexico.”

Why Moreno, 31, may have abducted the girls remains unclear.

Ely’s mother, Alma Soreque, told ABC 4 that she spoke to her daughter hours before the disappearance and that nothing appeared out of the ordinary.

Later, she received a call from her family saying Ely had walked to a nearby “tienda” — a small store — for a soda with her cousins and never returned home.

“Horrible, it is the worst thing that a mom can hear,” Soreque told the outlet.

The teenager was living with family for the summer so she could experience more of her culture and roots. It wasn’t the first time Ely had been to Mexico City, and the family had never encountered issues in the past.

An Amber Alert has been issued for Ely and her two little cousins, six-year-old Sofia Mailen Moreno Zamora and four-year-old Regina Moreno Zamora, both of whom are Mexican citizens.

Ely was wearing dark blue jeans, a black hoodie and black and white Vans when she was last seen. She is described as 5-foot-1, weighing 140 pounds and with brown eyes and brown hair.
