The Mountain View Police Department has issued an Endangered Missing Advisory for two young brothers, Daniel and David Wu, residents of Santa Clara County, who were last seen in the early hours of April 6.

Authorities are urgently searching for the children, who are believed to be with Taylor Wu, a 38-year-old described as 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 176 pounds with black hair. The suspect was last seen driving a 2018 blue Ford Escape with Missouri license plate VB9V1W, and anyone who has seen them or has information has been urged to call the Mountain View Police Department at 650-903-6344 or dial 9-1-1, the advisory states.
This situation has triggered the California Highway Patrol to activate the advisory on behalf of the Mountain View PD, stressing the critical nature of the boys' disappearance. An Endangered Missing Advisory is issued when someone is at risk due to age, health, mental or physical disability, as well as when there is credible information that the person is in danger due to abduction, parental abduction, or a lost, stranded, or otherwise missing individual.
Mountain View PD, in their communication, stopped short of confirming an abduction, but the details seem to imply a situation that has escalated beyond a mere case of missing children; it raises fears and the specter of urgency, thus activating communities and law enforcement to be on high alert. Community members are coming together, sharing the advisory across social media platforms, and watching for the blue Ford Escape that might be key to bringing these young boys back home safely.
