An urgent call has been sent out across Oklahoma and potentially into the Texas Panhandle for a 2-year-old boy, Anthony Stroder, after authorities activated an Endangered Missing Advisory. Anthony is described as being 3 feet tall and weighing 27 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes, as reported by ABC7 Amarillo. The boy is believed to be with his non-custodial mother, Katelyn Thornton, and her boyfriend, Aurelio Cardenas, whom the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry lists as a registered sex offender. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol has highlighted the urgency of the situation, given Cardenas' status.
Thornton, 22, is approximately 5-foot-6 and 240 pounds with brown hair and eyes. Her boyfriend, Aurelio Cardenas, is 26 years old, also standing 5-foot-6, but weighing 145 pounds and similarly has brown hair and brown eyes. Together, they were last seen driving a 2011 GMC Acadia with the Oklahoma license plate PCU102. This information was detailed by News9.
The OHP has cast a wide net asking for the public's assistance, suggesting Anthony and his non-custodial guardians could be anywhere in Oklahoma or even in the vicinity of the Texas Panhandle. Authorities urge anyone with information to come forward and immediately call 911. KFOR.
