Details:
On August 12, 2003, Joshua Keshaba Sierra Garcia, an American-born child, was kidnapped in Mexico City, Mexico. He was last seen around 11:00 a.m. that morning.

At the time of the kidnapping, Garcia was in the custody of relatives who had traveled to Mexico City to have Garcia baptized. During the kidnapping, Garcia's 15-year-old babysitter was murdered. After a series of ransom calls, a money drop resulted in the arrest of one kidnapper by Mexican law enforcement authorities, but Garcia has not been located.

Lots of info from the fbi here. It sounds like the babysitter was Joshua’s cousin?
 
This article states the person arrested for the kidnapping is currently incarcerated but it's not clear if they are serving time for this kidnapping or for another crime. Has any information about this person ever been released? A name? Any connection to the family? Any connection to organized crime? I couldn't find anything online.
