Two sisters, ages 9 and 7 years old who disappeared from his grandmother's house a month ago, were reported in good health and with their mother, Claudia Fuentes, in Piedras Negras.

The children were reported missing June 26 from the residence of their paternal grandparents around 10 am, witnesses reported seeing the children in the Plaza San Juan, before noticing his absence.

Initial investigations made authorities suspect that the children had fled on their own, and there was speculation they were taken by acquaintances of their mother, who lives in Piedras Negras.

Authorities say the case may not generate any criminal charges, as the mother has custody of the minors, as the father died recently in a car accident in which the mother was involved.

The case had been open for over a month and Amber Alerts had been issued by the authorities of the Eagle Pass police department, while their relatives requested the support of the community to assist with the search for the two missing girls.  The Texas Rangers and the FBI both came to the aid of the family to no avail and even local authorities in Piedras Negras had their hands tied for some time before confirming that the case was closed.
