Rodriguez hasn't seen her ex-boyfriend or her van since.

"Saturday, he went six in the morning. It was really cold outside, he asked if he -- he said he was going to take his children home to his mother, because he had to work and run a few errands that day," said Rodriguez. "He dropped his children off, and was never seen or heard from again, in my van."

Avondale Police are looking into the case.

"At the time, we didn't know if it was stolen or borrowed," said Officer Ray Emmett with Avondale Police. "It is under investigation. We are trying to determine what is going on."
