SAN ARDO, Calif. (AP) - Authorities have issued an Amber Alert
for a missing 16-year-old girl after two men were found dead in a
Monterey County home.

Investigators say 16-year-old Eunice Serrato disappeared after the bodies of the two men were discovered in a home in San Ardo around 10 p.m. Saturday. Investigators say the home belongs to Serrato's father.

Monterey County authorities have identified two men they're terming "persons of interest" in the case.

Sheriff's Sgt. Dave Murray says besides the girl, authorities are also looking for 19-year-old Juan Manuel Salazar Jr. and his father, 39-year-old Juan Manuel Salazar Sr. Police say the younger Salazar is Serrato's boyfriend.

Murray says it's feared the father and son may be taking the girl to Mexico.

The two men found dead in the home have been identified as 22-year-old Hector Reyes and 25-year-old Daniel Fraga. Their relationship to the missing girl was not known.

San Ardo is a small town on Highway 101 about 120 miles south of San Jose.
