The FBI is putting up to $50,000 on the table as agents and Sacramento police search for a missing father and his two young children, all tied to the death of 28-year-old Angelica Bravo. The money, which is split into $25,000 to identify and arrest a suspect and $25,000 to find the children, comes more than a year after Bravo's body was discovered in a north Sacramento home. Authorities have identified 39-year-old Camron Lee as the person of interest. He remains at large, and Athena and Mateo have not been seen since July 2024.

In a Dec. 23 statement, the FBI's Sacramento field office confirmed the reward offer, listed several aliases for Lee, described distinctive tattoos, and urged anyone with information to step forward, according to FBI Sacramento. Local TV viewers first heard about the new reward when the notice aired on ABC10, which highlighted the federal push to get fresh leads.

Inside The Case So Far

Sacramento police found Bravo's body inside a Didcot Circle residence on July 8, 2024, and said her two children were not at the home when officers arrived. The Sacramento County Coroner reported abrasions and contusions on Bravo and said there was no definitive evidence of strangulation, but that asphyxiation by smothering could not be ruled out. Toxicology tests detected MDMA, MDA and cannabinoids, and the cause of death was listed as "undetermined," according to KCRA. In the months since, family members have held memorials and launched private efforts to keep the children's faces in circulation while investigators continue the search.

How To Share A Tip

The FBI is urging anyone who might know something, even if it feels minor, to reach out. Tips can be submitted via the bureau's toll-free line at 1-800-CALL-FBI or online at tips.fbi.gov, and they may be submitted anonymously. Local leads can also be reported directly to the Sacramento Police Department. Federal officials stressed that a small detail from a stranger could be the break the case needs, according to FBI Sacramento.

Where The Manhunt Stands Now

Detectives in Sacramento say they have secured a homicide arrest warrant for Lee and consider him the primary person of interest in Bravo's death. He was reportedly last seen crossing into Mexico, and authorities say a vehicle linked to the case was later found in Ensenada, as stated by CBS Sacramento. Police have told reporters they do not believe the children are in imminent danger but have also emphasized that the investigation remains active and many details are still being reviewed. Earlier this year, local outlet Hoodline noted the department's work with federal partners when the warrant was issued in April 2025.

Family Pleads For Answers

Bravo's relatives say they are exhausted but not giving up, keeping the case in the public eye with vigils, flyers and a separate family-funded reward. "We just want to know that they're safe and we want them to come home," Bravo's mother, Dawn Bodea, told reporters, as per KCRA. As authorities chase leads across state and international lines, the family is holding onto the hope that someone, somewhere, has information that can help bring Athena and Mateo back.
