Details of Disappearance

John was abducted by his non-custodial mother from Placentia, California on December 4, 2009; she took him to her native Zambia.

In 2013, while John was visiting a relative in the Netherlands, his father persuaded a Dutch court to put a hold on his passport so he couldn't leave the country. His father had legal custody in the United States and got the Dutch court to enforce this. John and his father returned to the United States in October 2013.
