Diana Gama, a 12 year old girl, is missing. She is pregnant and it is believed that her 
mothers ex-boyfriend is the father. It is also believed that her mother’s ex-boyfriend Hermilo Morales, 34, is traveling with Diana Gama. (video available)
Anyone with more information about Diana or Morales was asked to call Fullerton police at (714) 738-6715, or the FBI at (310) 477-6565.
The mother of Diana Gama, the 12-year-old girl who is missing from her Fullerton home, told Paul Dandridge Friday morning that the girl is pregnant and her mother’s ex-boyfriend might be the father.
Gama, 12, a student at Nicholas Junior High, reportedly called her mother to tell her she was safe and “where she wanted to be,” said Lieut. John Petropulos of the Fullerton police department.
Gama is believed to be traveling with her mother’s ex-boyfriend Hermilo Morales, 34, who has not shown up for work since the girl was first reported missing.
Laura Eimiller of the FBI said the agency got involved in the case Friday because it had the resources to look for Gama in Chicago, or Mexico, where she might have gone with Morales since he has known family in both locales.
FBI Searches for Girl, 12, in a Possible Kidnapping
The FBI and Fullerton police are investigating the disappearance of a 12-year-old Fullerton girl who has been missing since Wednesday, when she did not come home from school, authorities said Saturday.
FBI officials believe that Diana Karen Gama may have been kidnapped by Hermillo Ocampo Morales, 34, the estranged boyfriend of Diana’s mother. The FBI has obtained a federal warrant for Morales’ arrest, said Laura Eimiller, an FBI spokeswoman in Los Angeles.
“At this point it would be unfair to be speculative about the girl’s motivation, but we feel that he’s obviously taken her away from her family,” Eimiller said Saturday.
Hermillo Ocampo Morales’ car was found in Orange County. The following is a description of Diana Gama and Hermillo Morales:
Diana — 4 feet, 2 inches tall and 100 pounds — has dark hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing faded blue jeans, a white jacket with blue sleeves, and a pink top with a blue stripe.
Morales, who Fullerton police said may have his 11-year-old son with him, is 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs 185 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He also has a mustache, and a gold front tooth, the FBI said.
NBC4: FBI Joins Hunt For Missing Teen From Fullerton
Morales lived with the girl’s mother, Guillermina Salmeron, and the family for almost two years, NBC4 reported. About three weeks ago, the mother asked Morales to leave because she believed he was “mistreating” her daughter, Channel 4 reported.
“You can’t imagine the pain I’m feeling right now, that my daughter would be gone like this,” the girl’s mother said.
About 6 p.m. Thursday, Diana called her mother to say she was OK but was not coming home.
Salmeron, who has four other children, said her daughter told her, “Mommy, I can’t come home, I don’t want to return.”
But she also said she heard Morales’ voice in the background, “telling her what to say, but my daughter’s voice was anguished, and then he cut her off suddenly, yelling. I could tell he was angry.”
“There were no indications that he was a bad person,” Salmeron added. “And I don’t know if my daughter is with him voluntarily or not, and I don’t understand his reasoning why he would take her.”

After 8 years on the National Registry for Missing and Exploited Children, on Tuesday a 12 year old girl was found at Malvern Junior High School.
Malvern Police say Nathalie Garcia was taken from San Antonio, Texas by her biological mother in 1997, when she was just 5 years old. Police say the mother did not have custody of her, because of a previous incarceration, and later kidnapped her during a visitation.
The 8 year old case was cracked on Tuesday, when Garcia’s classmate, Jessica Coman noticed her photograph on a pamphlet from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
“I`m like proud of myself, but I think what if something bad happens to her. What if she`s not happy? It kind of makes me feel guilty,” said classmate Jessica Coman.
“I think this defines her by who she is and who she`ll become, by something she did at 12 years old — I`m amazed,” said Coman’s mother Angie.
