ANDREA and JAMES DeCAROL - 6 and 5 yo (2009) - Cary IL

FBI officials announced Monday that they have joined the search for a
Cary woman charged with abducting her two children. Authorities believe
she is hiding in Mexico.


Sonia Del Carmen Leon De Carol, 43, now is the subject of an
international manhunt, FBI officials said. Leon De Carol is wanted for
taking her children to Mexico City on a court-approved visit in June
but failing to return them to their father as scheduled.


Two days before she was scheduled to leave Mexico with daughter Andrea,
6, and son James, 5, authorities said she canceled her plane tickets
and also canceled the local lease on her apartment.


In addition to her McHenry County charges of child abduction, Leon De
Carol is charged in U.S. District Court with unlawful flight to avoid
prosecution.


Leon De Carol is described as a Hispanic female, 5-foot-7, weighing 130
pounds with brown hair dyed blond and brown eyes. Anyone with
information about her whereabouts is urged to call the Chicago FBI
312-421-6700 or the McHenry County Sheriff’s department at 815-338-2144.

FBI seeking Cary mom accused of abducting kids last year
http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=353737
he FBI is seeking the public's help in locating a former
Cary woman accused of abducting her children in Mexico last year and
refusing court orders to return them to the lawful custody of their
father, the agency said Monday.


Sonia Del Carmen Leon De Carol, 43, faces both state and
federal charges after taking the children - Andrea, 6, and James, 5 -
on a court-approved trip to Mexico City in early June and failing to
come back three weeks later as ordered.


After arriving in Mexico City, authorities said, Leon de
Carol canceled her plane tickets home and made herself unreachable,
except for an occasional e-mail to the children's father. She is now the
target of an international manhunt coordinated by the FBI in Chicago.


The father, James Carol, received an e-mail from his
former wife as recently as last week, said his attorney, Robert
Medansky.


In it, Medansky said, Leon De Carol offered to allow
Carol visitation in Mexico if he ended efforts to return the children to
the United States. Carol did not accept the offer and turned the
communication over to police.


"Apparently she's feeling the pressure," Medansky said.
"She's had to hire a lawyer down there. (Carol) is never going to give
up trying to get the kids back."


The FBI initially said it was joining the search in
September after federal authorities filed a criminal complaint against
Leon De Carol for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.


Anyone with information about her current whereabouts is
asked to call the Chicago FBI at (312) 421-6700 or the McHenry County
Sheriff's Office at (815) 338-2144.
