Elias Monroy is a Hispanic male missing from Los Angeles, CA. He was abducted when he was just two weeks old by an unknown female. On 2/2/1987 Elias was at the LA-USC medical center on Marengo Street for a routine baby checkup visit with his mother Maria. A young woman struck up a conversation with Maria offering to hold him as his mother struggled to find him formula, but this would all be a ploy for this stranger to vanish with baby Elias. Police would soon discover that two weeks prior to this incident, 70 miles away in Hesperia, CA a mother reported that a woman asked to hold her baby in an attempt to kidnap her child. Are these two cases related? It’s been 36 years and still, we are asking, where is Elias Monroy?

Taalibah Islam disappeared in 2006 after dropping her son off with his father. The father filed a missing person report in which he states she got into a car with an unknown person and drove away. Ten years later this same man is also the last person to see yet another ex girlfriend, Typhenie Johnson, before she too got into a car with an unknown person and was driven away (according to him ). His defense wants you to think he was railroaded by a lazy police force , as no bodies have ever been found nor did they find any DNA in his house or car. Does Chris Revill just have the worst luck ever? Or is he a controlling and obsessive man who thought he would get away with the same plot and story twice?
