Jesus Martinez-Alvarado: Reward offered, age progression available

(He is sometimes referred to as Jesus Alvarado Martinez, . I am not sure which is correct.)
It is always nice to see a news article about someone that seems forgotten. Of course, it would have been even nicer if it had said that he was found safe and sound. Still, now people will remember that he is still missing, and maybe there will be a greater chance of him being found.

Reward Offered In Search For Accused Wife Killer, Kidnapper
Thu Jan 18, 1:29 PM ET
A reward was offered Thursday in the search for a man accused of
killing his wife and taking off with their young child, KPRC Local 2 reported.
Avelino Martinez-Alvarado, 31, was charged with the Oct. 20, 2004, murder of
his wife, who was stabbed to death in their apartment.
Police said he also
kidnapped the couple's then-4-year-old son, Jesus Martinez-Alvarado.
Jesus,
now 7 years old, is probably not leading a normal child's life, according to
investigators, and could be in danger.
"Let's get the child back safe to his
family," HPD Officer Ramon Cervantes said.
Police said Avelino
Martinez-Alvarado has been spotted in the United States, but said they believe
he is hiding out in Mexico with his son.
An age-progressed digital picture of
Jesus was released so the public would know what he looks like now.
"Any
parent who takes their child in violation of a custody order, they don't do that
for the child's best interest. They do that for their purposes of power and
control," said Beth Alberts with the Texas Center For The Missing.
Avelino
Martinez-Alvarado and his wife had three other children, who are staying with
their maternal grandmother.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime
Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
A $5,000 reward is being offered in the case.

Details of
Disappearance
Jesus was last seen at his home in northwest Houston, Texas on
October 20, 2004. He was living with his mother, Rocio Alvarado, and his
one-year-old sister at the time. Jesus's father, Rocio's husband Avelino
Martinez, was estranged from the family and had moved in with a roommate, Pedro
Vargas, in the Brampton Square Apartments in the 1300 block of Witte in Houston
a few days before. He and Alvarado were having marital problems. A photograph
and vital statistics for Avelino are posted below this case summary.
Vargas
last saw Avelino, Jesus, and Alvarado together at 9:00 a.m. on October 20, 2004.
Avelino asked to borrow his car to take their daughter to the doctor. They did
visit the doctor and afterwards planned to buy clothes for the children. Later
that day, Alvarado's relatives asked the police to check on her welfare, as they
had not seen or heard from her since the previous evening. She wasn't at her
apartment.
At 1:00 a.m. on October 21, Vargas summoned police to his
apartment after he found Alvarado's body inside his apartment on his bed. She
had been stabbed twice and strangled with a ligature; the bloody knife was left
behind. She had been covered up with the blankets and Vargas thought she was
only sleeping until her daughter began to cry and she did not wake up.
Alvarado's daughter was unharmed, but there was no sign of Avelino or Jesus.
Investigators believe Avelino murdered his wife and abducted Jesus. A
homicide warrant was issued for his arrest on October 21, 2004. There is a
history of domestic violence between the couple in their ten-year relationship,
and it was some of Alvarado's children, including Jesus, were not biologically
related to Avelino. He is believed to have used Vargas's brown or beige 1993
Chevrolet Silverado extended cab pickup truck with Texas license plates numbered
VS2-034 in his flight, but was found abandoned on October 30, on a private dirt
road off Interstate 10 and Wilpitz Road near Brookshire, Texas, in Waller
County.
Avelino and Jesus are believed to be in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico or in
Laredo, Texas, where Avelino has family. Avelino is considered armed and
dangerous and caution is advised when approaching him. Due to the nature of the
charges against his father, Jesus may be in danger.
