Riverdale police say they are also investigating the alleged abductor — 29-year-old Ricardo Rojelo Trujillo — as a suspect in a fatal Riverdale arson fire.

“POSSIBLE HOMICIDE AND ARSON SUSPECT,” the notice says. “HAS MINOR CHILDREN. CHILDREN ARE IN IMMINENT DANGER.”

The two missing children are identified as:

  • Angie Trujillo, age 2 (28 months). She stands 2 feet and 2 inches tall, and weighs about 35 pounds.
  • Ricardo Trujillo, age 3 (41 months). He stands 2 feet 5 inches and weighs about 45 pounds.

Both children are described as having black hair and brown eyes, as does the suspect.
