The search for Elsy Ardolino missing remains ongoing, and authorities have stated that they will not leave any stone unturned. 

They will continue to coordinate with other law enforcement agencies around the country and gather all available evidence to find the infant.

On Tuesday, July 25, an Amber Alert was issued for two-month-old Elsy Ardolino. She was  allegedly abducted by her parents Ashley Ardolino and Luis Novelo-Rojas.

Elsy had been missing since the evening of July 25. She was staying with a relative in Pueblo due to concerning statements made by Ashley.

The last sighting of Elsy was at the 1000 block of W Gallinas Drive in Pueblo West at about 6:00 pm local time.

Shortly after the abduction, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) issued an Amber Alert and launched an investigation.

Within a day, authorities found an empty forest-green GMC Yukon XL, which was reportedly the kidnappers’ vehicle.

Based on the initial investigation, the CBI believes that Elsy’s parents may have taken their daughter back to Denver.

Elsy’s description

Elsy is a two-month-old Hispanic female with black hair and brown eyes.

Her mother, Ashley Ardolino, is a white female standing at approximately 5 foot 4, 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. 

The infant’s father, Luis Novelo-Rojas, is a Hispanic male standing at 5 foot 1 and weighing 160 pounds.

Although a week has passed since the incident, there remain no leads as to the child’s whereabouts. 

The police have been urging the public to report any sighting of the couple and their missing daughter. 

The ongoing investigation has exhausted all possible leads and searched the area to find Elsy.

Timeline of events surrounding Elsy Ardolino missing

On July 25, Ashley Ardolino and Luis Novelo-Rojas visited a relative, Pablo’s house in Pueblo. Here, a dispute broke out between the couple and the relative for unspecified reasons. 

Following this, the parents left Elsy in tow in a green GMC Yukon XL with Colorado plates.

The CBI released an Amber Alert containing the descriptions of the couple and the vehicle immediately. 

They informed the public that the vehicle could be stolen and requested immediate notification to Colorado authorities if the automobile was spotted.

Subsequently, the abandoned car was located in a remote part of Pueblo West approximately twenty-four hours later.

Upon discovery, the car exhibited damage on both the front and rear, but someone had removed its license plates.

Consequently, the vehicle was taken in for further investigation, and its role in the abduction is still under scrutiny.

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office are appealing to the public to come forward with any possible leads. 

Amber Alerts have been sent nationwide, and the search for Elsy extends worldwide.

The Community’s reaction to the abduction

The news of Elsy’s abduction has left the residents of Pueblo reeling. 

Businesses and neighbors are coming forward with information that could help the police in their investigation, tirelessly working to keep the public informed.

Many express concern for the newborn’s well-being. Elsy’s portrait is widely shared on social media, increasing the chances of recognition.

Authorities urge citizens to look out for the couple and the child, sharing any information, no matter how small.

Time is crucial in missing person cases, and the public must help in any way possible.
