Dominican authorities sought the help of International Police (INTERPOL) agents to ascertain the whereabouts of four-year old Ricardo Baio Mejía and his father. It is believed his father, Italian Antonio Baio who had come to vacation with the boy, as established in the divorce papers, abducted him. Ricardo is the son of Antonio Baio and Dominican Indhira Mejía who requested the help of national authorities after receiving a phone call from her son who she says is in Italy. The boy had a ban on leaving the country without the permission of the mother, who had custody. The District Attorney requested the assistance of the Interpol to locate Antonio Baio and his son. Investigations carried out by the Migration Department show that it is likely the four-year old left the country under another name.
