Carlo Ponte, reported missing by his mother in July of 2021 when he was three years old, was located yesterday in Seattle. Carlo is safe and healthy. Carlo was located with his father, Jorge Ponte. An arrest warrant was issued in 2021 for Jorge, who was believed to have committed the crime of Custodial Interference by taking custody of his child and withholding access to him from his mother. Jorge is believed to have had Carlo in his care during the three-year period that Carlo was listed as a missing person.
The Marysville Police Department received an anonymous tip earlier this week that Carlo and Jorge were staying in the north Seattle area. With the assistance of the Violent Offender’s Task Force (VOTF), Carlo was recovered and Jorge was taken into custody for Custodial Interference in the 1st degree.
We appreciate the assistance of the community, our media partners and VOTF in getting the information out about Carlo and ultimately locating him.
