Blood stains found in search for mother and 2 children missing in south Alabama​

Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch held a press conference Monday providing an update regarding the disappearance of a mother and her two children in south Alabama.

The missing individuals have been identified as Aurelia Choc Cac De Tiul, 40, and her two children, Niurka Tiul Choc, 17, and Anthony Garcia, 2.

Burch said that the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations and Alabama Law Enforcement Agency are assisting and “no resource is being spared” in the search.

But, according to the sheriff, the family could be in danger due to evidence found at the scene, including blood stains.

“But it’s not just the blood,” Burch said. “It’s the fact that there’s cell phones and cash left at the scene and a missing mattress, which is very unusual.”

The family was last seen by neighbors at 7:30 p.m. on Friday at their residence in the 9000 block of Ben Hamilton Road. Neighbors called police after the family’s home was discovered empty around 3:00 p.m. on Saturday.

According to Burch, Anthony’s father was initially seen as a suspect but has been ruled out for now after an initial interview corroborated his alibi that he was in Texas at the time the family went missing.

Officials provided information that Aurelia and Niurka were given final deportation orders in April 2025, but Burch said they were not deported contrary to national media “narratives.”

“We’ve obviously known where this person is, but they weren’t suspected of being involved in any violent crime,” Burch said. “So, they’ve had their order out since April, and they could have deported them then. So again, the national narrative isn’t always true down in Mobile.”

The sheriff said it would be up to the “federal authorities involved in deportation” to deport Aurelia and her daughter if they are found safe. Anthony is a U.S. citizen.

And her older daughter is asking for the son mainly to be returned too, going by that last sentence above... Almost like she thinks they left and took him...?

As far as ICE, the local authorities would know and that sh*t is ridiculous. I'm in MN for goodness sakes, it was known when they came in. I got a notice from management weeks ago and yet they've not been seen in our area yet. It isn't that unknown. People out on the web are idiots sometimes or they have an agenda.

I do think it could relate to why they are gone though. It fits right into what I was thinking ever since they said the young boy is a US citizen. Now that recent one above says the father recently threatened to come get one. And her adult daughter made remarks concerning mostly the "baby".

The neighbor also said the ex and pointed that way...

Law enforcement searching two areas for missing Theodore family

There is a heavy police presence at a mobile home park early Monday afternoon in Theodore.

Law enforcement searching two areas for missing Theodore family​

Mobile County sheriff’s deputies on Monday served a search warrant at a home near Swedetown Road and questioned motorists coming in and out of a mobile home park of Old Pascagoula Road.

Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch said both actions were related to the ongoing search for a woman and her two children, who went missing under suspicious cirminstances from their home on Ben Hamilton Road.

“This is culminated from a series of investigative leads and tips that we received, and we’re checking this location and a secondary location,” he said at the entrance to Lloyds Mobile Home Park.

The FBI and other federal agencies assisted the effort, blocking both entrances to the mobile home park. Burch said investigators were looking for a couple of vehicles that might have something to do with the disappearance of Aurelia Choc Cac and her children, 17-year-old Niurka Choc and 2-year-old Anthony Garcia.

“We’re just trying to follow up on every single lead that comes in,” Burch said. “Obviously, we did get some information that someone possibly affiliated with the case resides in here, and it’s somebody we want to talk to.”

‘Each day is a different twist and turn’: MCSO, FBI execute warrant in search of missing family​

The effort to find a missing Mobile County family continues as the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation hunt down every lead.

The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI were at a home on Apache Run Drive all afternoon, conducting a search warrant in connection with the missing Choc family.

A little over a week later, agencies have been at two different locations in South Mobile County.

In Theodore, Sheriff Paul Burch confirms they executed a search warrant on a property on Apache Run Drive.

On the other side of I-10 in Tillman’s Corner, Burch said they were going door to door in Lloyd’s Mobile Home park off Old Pascagoula Road, asking people about the case.

“This is somewhat of a bizarre case, and I’ve not seen one like this since I’ve been in the sheriff’s office, where you have an entire family missing,” Burch said. “But you know each day is a different twist and turn, but again we’re working every single one of those and will continue to do so until we bring a resolution to this case.”

So mom probably showed her disapproval of him dating her daughter is my guess of the reason.

Is that the same adult daughter who seemed to care about getting the young child back more than mom or sister back?

Employer.

Not surprised. Didn't show up at work... Didn't take her ride. Apparently.

But he dated her daughter... That adds to making more sense... He is her employer but is an illegal himself. That also doesn't surprise me.

I'm glad they are close on this case and have one arrest anyhow but where is the family??

It's probably nothing but I've wondered about the parentage of the youngest child. There is a huge age gap in years of her children. Not necessarily unheard of but it did stand out to me... Don't suppose he could be a daughter's child? Probably not. Just a thought...
 

Arrest made in disappearance of mother, 2 children as search intensifies in south Alabama​

Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch said investigators continue to search for the family and are leaning on the public for help. Authorities have been combing two counties, serving warrants, conducting traffic stops and following leads around Theodore, Tillman’s Corner, Wilmer and Bay Minette in hopes of finding information that leads to the missing family.

“Our work is not done, and our work will not be complete until we reach Aurelia,” said FBI Mobile Special Agent in Charge Sara Jones, underscoring the collaboration between local law enforcement and federal agents.

Burch echoed the plea for public tips: “We’re hoping someone will tell us where they are. Anytime you arrest someone you hope they will tell you what occurred. Our main goal is to find them safely and bring them home.”

Guerra is the second person connected to the family’s disappearance to be taken into custody, but the first charged with kidnapping. Earlier, on Feb. 3, authorities arrested Silverio Garcia, 60, of Wilmer, for possession of a firearm while illegally in the U.S. from Guatemala — although he was not charged in the abduction.

Burch confirmed Garcia had a personal connection to the family. He had been in a relationship with one of Aurelia Choc’s adult daughters and, along with Guerra and Choc, work as painters. Burch declined to provide the name of the paint companies.


Asked if he believes the family is still alive, Burch said, “I hope to find them alive.”
 
Possibly coming back around to the father of the 2-year-old after all...

Man charged in family kidnapping; FBI seeks missing mother, kids

Juan Guerrera faces kidnapping charges as authorities intensify efforts to find a missing Alabama woman and her two children.
www.rocketcitynow.com www.rocketcitynow.com
Authorities have charged a man with three counts of kidnapping in connection with the disappearance of a 40-year-old mother and her two children from their Mobile County home.

Juan Guerrera was arrested after a nine-day investigation linked him to a suspicious black van seen at the family's Ben Hamilton Road residence in the early morning hours when Aurelia Shacock and her two children vanished, according to the Mobile County Sheriff's Office and FBI.

Investigators discovered blood in the family's home, and Shacock's mattress and laundry hamper are missing, though cell phones were left behind. Despite the troubling evidence, authorities said they believe the family was alive when taken.

"Just detailed investigative techniques is as far as I'm willing to go with that," Sheriff Paul Burch said. "The FBI has resources that are unimaginable to local law enforcement, and they've brought all those to bear in this case."

The investigation has revealed multiple connections among those involved. Burch said Shacock and Guerrera both worked as painters. On Feb. 3, authorities arrested Shacock's employer, Silverio Garcia, on weapons charges. Garcia was living with one of Shacock's adult daughters in Wilmer and is in the country illegally from Guatemala, according to Burch.

Garcia is also the uncle of 30-year-old Juan Antonio Garcia, the father of the missing 2-year-old. The younger Garcia, currently jailed in Texas on drug warrants, was initially named a person of interest but later cleared, authorities said.

"We don't know what the motive would have been," Burch said. "We have some theories, but we're exploring several different theories.

They were in on it together?
 
I'd be looking hard at her adult daughter too who was more concerned about the "baby" than her mom and sister. It might be natural for anyone to do that, someone so young is so innocent, but she was dating the employer right...?

However, I guess it's odd she'd ask for the boy to be found if she knew the dad had him BUT still, her statements and her connection, well... I'd just be looking hard at her as well.

Man pleads not guilty in Theodore family disappearance case

Juan Carlos Argueta-Guerra faces three kidnapping charges as the search for the Choc family continues. His sister is charged with attempting to elude law enforcement.
www.fox10tv.com www.fox10tv.com

Man pleads not guilty in Theodore family disappearance case​

Juan Carlos Argueta-Guerra pleaded not guilty to three counts of kidnapping in connection with the disappearance of a Theodore family that vanished more than two weeks ago.

Thirteen days have passed with no sign of the Choc family. Aurelia Choc-Cac and her two children, Niurka and Anthony, disappeared from their Theodore home more than two weeks ago.

Argueta-Guerra appeared before a judge in handcuffs and entered his plea through a translator during his second court appearance this week.

According to investigators, cell phone data places Argueta-Guerra at the Choc family’s home on the day they vanished. Court testimony reveals he borrowed a black van from his employer and made three separate trips to and from the house in the early morning hours of Jan. 31. Hours later, the family was reported missing.

Authorities say they have found no prior connection between Argueta-Guerra and the Choc family. When questioned about their whereabouts, he has refused to cooperate.

Argueta-Guerra is expected to be back in court for his preliminary hearing in March.

The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the sister of an alleged kidnapping suspect has been arrested.

Gloria Estefany Argueta-Guerra, 23, was booked into the Baldwin County Jail Monday night on a charge of attempting to elude a law enforcement officer.

Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch said the woman stayed at the scene after her brother, Juan Carlos Argueta-Guerra, ran off and hid under a home in Bay Minette.

Mobile County deputies said Gloria Argueta-Guerra was dating a man who loaned Juan Carlos Argueta-Guerra the van that he allegedly used in the abduction of the Choc family.
 
WTH? It almost sounds since the missing woman's daughter was dating the missing woman's boss that it might be one and the same. If so, she is the sister of the suspect too meaning the suspect is the missing woman's son or more likely not and a half or stepbrother to her adult daughter...

Now IF that is the same woman, she stayed at the scene after...?

I thought her remarks odd from the start, worried only about the youngest child it seemed the most... Not so much her mother or her sister...

Sounds like it's going to be a very hard case to follow as to who is who in a very mixed up family probably with halves and steps and other mothers and so on.

Missing mom's daughter was to be said to be dating mom's boss and so...?

State moves to amend charges, correct defendant’s name in missing Theodore family case

Prosecutors say the suspect charged with kidnapping in connection to the missing Theodore family provided false biographical information at time of arrest.

State moves to amend charges, correct defendant’s name in missing Theodore family case​

Prosecutors say the suspect charged with kidnapping in connection to the missing Theodore family provided false biographical information at time of arrest.

The State of Alabama has filed a motion to amend three first-degree kidnapping charges against a man originally identified as Juan Carlos Argueta Guerra, saying the defendant provided inaccurate personal information and that the charges require updated language.

The motion, filed Feb. 27, 2026, states the defendant’s actual name is Hector Gamaliel Argueta-Guerra and his date of birth is April 2, 1998.

FBI releases new details about suspect in missing Choc family case​

The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office has released more information regarding the suspect who was previously arrested in connection with the missing Choc family.

According to PJ Lavoie with Homeland Security Investigations, the suspect’s full name is Hector Gamiliel Argueta Guerra, also known as “Gama.” He is 27 years old and from El Salvador.

Guerra is a certified member of Los Surenos, a transnational criminal organization with ties to El Salvador. He currently has two active judicial detention orders related to terrorism and participating in a terrorist organization by courts in San Salvador.


Officials say the motive for the kidnapping is still unknown at this time.

Sheriff Paul Burch said this remains a full-time, active investigation. Investigators are backtracking the events of the night the family was last seen.
 

Judge: Enough evidence to send suspect in missing Choc family to grand jury​

Testimony reveals blood found at a home in Mobile County belonged to a missing 17-year-old girl.

This new development comes as the man charged with kidnapping the girl and two family members returns to court.


The judge ruled there’s enough evidence to send this case to a grand jury.

Prosecutors say they now know the suspect’s true identity.

After sorting through several aliases, they say Hector Guerra is the man charged with kidnapping the Choc family of Theodore.

Prosecutors had to dig through his criminal record from El Salvador, which includes charges of attempted homicide and terrorism.

40-year-old Aurelia Choc, her 17-year-old daughter Niurka Choc, and 2-year-old son Anthony Garcia were reported missing Jan. 31.

Investigators say surveillance video and FBI cell-tower analysis placed Guerra along the same route as a black van with blue LEDs that has been connected to the case.

DNA results from the van are still pending.

The FBI is also conducting an analysis of Guerra’s cellphone.

In court today, a detective testified that the 17-year-old’s blood was found throughout the family’s home on Ben Hamilton Road, including on the living room couch, in the hallway, in a bedroom, in the master bathroom, and on a trash bag.

Investigators also noted a twin mattress was missing, along with cell phones, cash, and important documents.

3 bodies found in search for missing Alabama family: ‘This was a horrific and gruesome murder’​

Investigators believe they have found the bodies of a Mobile-area family missing since late January and say an array of capital murder charges will be filed against a suspect already in custody.

Mobile Sheriff Paul Burch said at a Thursday morning press conference that three bodies were found buried in a wooded area near Summerdale in south Baldwin County.

While positive identifications were pending, Burch said the sizes of the bodies were consistent with the missing members of the Choc family: Mother Aurelia Choc, 40, and her children Niurka Choc, 17, and Anthony Garcia, 2.
