Authorities Search For Three Minors Missing From Conocoto

Ecuador's Fiscalía issued an Alerta Emilia for three minors reported missing in Conocoto, southeast of Quito, El Comercio reported.

The report says the minors were last seen on June 27, 2026, around 07:00, near Jaime Roldós Aguilera and Rafael Cajiao in Conocoto. Authorities said eight children had left the María Campi de Yoder home, and three remained under search at the time of the report.

What This Means For Expats

Missing-person alerts spread quickly through WhatsApp and Facebook groups. The useful thing is to share official alerts, not edited screenshots or rumors. Alerta Emilia posts usually include identifying details and official contact channels.

For families in Quito-area neighborhoods, this is also a reminder that Conocoto is not a remote location. It is part of the broader metro area where expat families, schools and caregivers may circulate.

Practical Takeaway

If you see an Alerta Emilia, share the official Fiscalía or Policía version and report possible sightings through official channels. Avoid adding unverified claims that can complicate a search.
