Where did they go missing and when?

Some media outlets, including Australia’s Nine News, reported that Andrade Ramírez had told them the three people had been arrested.
“Important hours were lost,” she said.
What has the reaction been in Australia?
“We certainly hope that these brothers are found safely but there is real concern about the fact that they’ve gone missing. Their mother is obviously very distressed about this and we just hope for a positive outcome.”
