**** What a restricted case means. ****
A restricted case can mean any one of several things. It can mean the children have been recovered, or the case has been solved, however it is not press ready at the time. Classifying it as restricted gives the authorities and professionals time to evaluate the children, without any influence, to determine exactly how they were living and their current needs – do they need any medical treatment, counseling, drug rehab, etc. Also, during the evaluation time the professionals and authorities should be able to determine if any additional charges should be filed against the abductor(s) or anyone else. A final determination of custody will be made (vast majority enforces orders made after the abduction), and the children will then be returned to their rightful home. A restricted case can also mean that the case is being updated. When this is the case, a new poster will be issued for the children and the case will be reclassified. This generally happens within a day or two. LTWH’s policy is to wait 7 days before reclassifying a case, therefore we avoid changing the status of a case if an update is all that is happening. Lastly, a restricted case may mean that the publicity of the case has been ceased. When this happens, the public is given very little information.
**** Please note that when a case is classified as restricted, we move the case to our recovered archives.****

Hector and Sheimy were abducted by their non-custodial parents. They may be in Miami, Florida, Seattle, Washington, or they may have travelled to Columbia. Their brother, Juan Orduz Zuniga, was abducted with them, however was located in June 2011, while Hector and Sheimy remain missing.

Okay….so neither parent has custody of the children and the authorities managed to locate one of the children within 3 months presumably in the possession of the non-custodial parents, but somehow the other two children slipped through the cracks and haven’t been seen since? This is a very strange case indeed. One would think that if the parents were abusive then the authorities would have seized all three children when they learned where the parents were concealing the located child.
