The California Highway Patrol issued an “Endangered Missing Advisory” for two young boys believed to have been taken by their mother, Taylor Wu. The boys, Daniel Wu and David Wu, were last seen in Mountain View, a Bay Area suburb, around 1:30 a.m. Taylor Wu is missing along with her sons and is believed to have taken them using a Ford Escape SUV with a Missouri license plate number VB9V1W. The CHP issued the advisory to raise awareness without causing unnecessary alarm, as there is no indication of imminent danger for the boys at this time.
Authorities have not specified any specific danger that the boys may be in, but their overall safety is a matter of concern. The CHP has focused their search in Santa Clara County, where Mountain View is located, as well as Los Angeles County, for reasons that are unclear. Daniel Wu is described as 4 feet, 11 inches and 67 pounds, while David Wu is 3 feet and 40 pounds. Their mother, Taylor Wu, is 5 feet, 10 inches and 176 pounds. The boys’ father, Jialiang Wu, is not missing, but it is unclear what the family’s custody situation is, whether they are divorced, estranged, or in disagreement over custody.
The CHP chose to issue an “Endangered Missing Advisory” rather than an Amber Alert to avoid causing unnecessary alarm. An Amber Alert is typically used in cases where there is imminent danger for abducted children. However, in this case, there is no specific danger mentioned, though the boys’ safety is still a concern. The boys were last seen in a residential area of Mountain View, and it is unclear if Missouri authorities will be involved in the search for them.
The Mountain View Police Department is leading the investigation into the boys’ disappearance and is working to locate them and ensure their safety. The boys’ mother, Taylor Wu, is also missing along with them. The police have asked for the public’s help in locating the boys and their mother and have provided descriptions of them to aid in the search efforts. The CHP has urged residents to be on the lookout for the boys and their mother and report any possible sightings to the authorities.
The situation involving the missing boys and their mother has prompted the CHP to issue an alert to raise awareness and assist in locating them. The boys’ father, Jialiang Wu, is not missing, but the circumstances surrounding the disappearance are unclear. The police are working diligently to find the boys and ensure their safety, and have asked for the public’s assistance in locating them. The CHP continues to provide updates on the search efforts and asks anyone with information to come forward to help bring the boys home safely.
