Ava Marie Gonzales, missing since December 2017 when she was two years old, is the focus of a renewed search after her mother, Virginia Gonzales, was arrested for child abuse involving Ava’s seven-year-old sister, found locked in a closet and malnourished. The Austin Police Department is concerned for Ava’s welfare and has released an age-progressed photo as they seek public assistance in locating her. Virginia Gonzales faces charges of serious bodily injury and is currently held on a $75,000 bond, while details about Ava’s father remain undisclosed.
