CHP includes San Diego in Amber Alert for missing Salinas teen

Authorities say the teen is believed to be with a suspect accused in a newborn's death and sexual abuse, and they are traveling in a white Nissan Altima.

  • The California Highway Patrol issued an Amber Alert yesterday for 14-year-old Diana Galvez Ortega, missing from Monterey County. Authorities believe she is traveling with 38-year-old Sergio Galvez Perez in a white Nissan Altima without license plates.
  • Investigators linked the pair to the Aug. 1 discovery of a deceased newborn in Salinas. Monterey County officials previously issued warrants for both individuals for charges including incest, child concealment, and child endangerment.
  • Ortega is 4 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 100 pounds, while Galvez Perez is 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing 170 pounds. Anyone spotting the pair or vehicle is urged to call 911 immediately and avoid confrontation.
  • Monterey County Sheriff Tina Nieto stated that Galvez Perez is currently concealing the teenager and preventing law enforcement from locating her. The office emphasized that "locating Diana and ensuring her safety" remains a priority.
  • Officials addressed questions about the alert's delayed timing, explaining they recently discovered video evidence confirming the pair traveled together in the white Nissan. This discovery provided grounds to activate the statewide search.
