Authorities in Alabama have arrested two men in connection with the mysterious disappearance of a mother and two of her children they believe were “taken against their will.”

Aurelia Choc Cac, 40, and her kids, 17-year-old Niurka Zuleta Choc and 2-year-old Anthony Garcia Choc, were reported missing on Jan. 31 by a neighbor.

Juan Carlos Argueta Guerra, 31, was arrested on Monday, Feb. 9 in connection with the disappearance, the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to PEOPLE.

This came days after Silverio Garcia, 60, was taken into custody in connection with the case on Tuesday, Feb. 3.

Garcia, who was identified as Cac’s employer and is believed to be in a relationship with the woman’s 21-year-old daughter, was living with the daughter at the time of the family’s disappearance, according to the sheriff’s office.

Guerra’s relationship with the family members was not immediately clear.

Authorities said Guerra, Garcia and Cac are all painters.

The family was last seen by a neighbor the night before they were reported missing.

In 911 call records obtained by FOX 10, the neighbor said that during that meeting, Cac gave no indication of any plans to leave.

PEOPLE previously reported that investigators confirmed there were “signs of a struggle” inside the home, per an earlier news release from the sheriff’s office.

“We do believe the mother, daughter and son were taken against their will and we believe they could be in danger,” the release stated.

According to investigators, blood was found at the residence and a mattress was missing, which they found to be concerning.

Authorities had previously named another man as a person of interest, but he was promptly released after questioning during the initial stage of the investigation.

Cac and Niurka were given a final deportation order in April, according to authorities.

Anthony is a U.S. citizen.

At a press briefing Tuesday, Feb. 10, which was streamed online by FOX 10, Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch emphasized that the family’s immigration status should not discourage them from seeking help.

“We want to find this family, so I don’t want them to be fearful that they’re going to be deported just for coming along,” he said.

Garcia, who remains on a Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) hold because of his undocumented status, has been charged with possession of a pistol of certain persons forbidden, per the sheriff’s office.

Guerra was arrested on three counts of first-degree kidnapping.

It wasn’t immediately clear if they had entered pleas. Attorney information for the men was also not immediately available.
