LANDON LEAGUE - 5 yo (2008) - Las Vegas NV

Landon League vanished without a trace four years ago. His ninth birthday is next month. It's a painful reminder for his father, Blayne.

"I worry that I will never know what happened to him," Blayne says.

Metro, and the FBI, believe Blayne's ex-wife, Victoria Lopez, took off with the little boy to Mexico. That's where Lopez is from. There's a warrant out for her arrest, but investigators haven't been able to track her down. They say she's likely changed her name.

"A parental abduction is no different than a stranger abduction," Blayne says. "We had joint custody. Now, I don't know where my child is, or if he's in danger."

Blayne created a Facebook page to help find Landon, and is working closely with a variety of organizations, including the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

"Somebody, somewhere has to know something," he says.

That's why Blayne has also reached out to America's Most Wanted. The show, which airs around the world, will share Landon's story on Lifetime, next Friday January 20th.

"I have a huge following in Mexico," says the show's creator and star, John Walsh. "I have spanish-speaking hotline operators. We have a toll-free number in Mexico."

Walsh is spending the next week in Las Vegas to film his show. He's working closely with Metro, trying to shed light on some local missing person cases, including Landon's.

"We're praying that this lady will be found, and this boy will be brought back," Walsh says. "Then maybe his dad will get some resolution to this."

That's been Blayne's hope all along.

"I'm looking for anything right now," he says. "A phone call, a tip that somebody saw him or her. All I want is to be in my son's life."

Producers for America's Most Wanted says they get hundreds of e-mails every week, detailing similar kidnappings.

One of the biggest challenges, according to detectives, is working with foreign governments in these kinds of investigations.
