Missing Child Description:
Juliani Cardenas
4-years-old
3' 6" and 40 pounds with black hair and brown eyes
He was last seen wearing dark pants and a light blue shirt.

Suspect Description:
Jose Rodriguez
27-years-old
5' 9" and 180 pounds with black hair and brown eyes
Rodriguez was last seen wearing a white and black shirt, checkered pants and a beanie.

Investigators think he was possibly headed to San Jose in a Silver Toyota Corolla with a California license plate 6HBW445. The front passenger side may have a smaller, "donut" spare tire.

Authorities say it can be hard to remember an entire license plate number, so if you see any light colored Toyota Corolla with the last numbers of 445, please call 911.

The Stanislaus County dive team pulled a second stolen car from the canal, where they had been searching for the suspect's silver Toyota Corolla.

Authorities say it's possible the car is stuck in a siphon in the area, but it's too dangerous for divers to find out.

Merced County's dive team will be brought in Friday to help in the canal search because they have sonar technology.

Four-year-old Juliani Cardenas remains missing after being kidnapped from his Patterson home on Tuesday.

The suspect in this kidnapping is Jose Rodriguez. He is five foot nine, 180 pounds with black hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing a white and black shirt, checkered shorts and a beanie.

He drove a silver Toyota Corolla, California license plate 6HBW445. If you see this car or know where Rodriguez might be, you are urged to call 9-1-1 immediately.
