Nanny arrested in Juptier; Amber Alert issued for 4-year-old child

The nanny of the missing 4-year-old Jupiter boy has been arrested in Miami-Dade County on a kidnapping charge, but Dominic I. Caprio still has not been found, town police said.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement authorities have issued an AMBER Alert for Dominic. They say Dominic, who is about 3-feet tall with brown hair and brown eyes, may be with either Elizabeth or Luis Caprio. The relationship between Dominic and the adults was not immediately known.

Authorities are interviewing his 57-year-old nanny, Blanca Castro, about his whereabouts. Castro was booked early Friday into the Miami-Dade jail on an out-of-county warrant.

Dominic’s mother, Danielle Caprio, left the boy with Castro at about 12:30 p.m. in the family’s home in the 100 block of Regions Way.

An hour later, when the mother returned, Castro and Dominic were gone.

Dominic was last seen wearing a gray T-shirt with dinosaurs and green shorts. Dominic has a small pinkish-red birthmark on the back of his neck and a small scar on his lower back.

Elizabeth Caprio, 60, is a blonde, 5-foot-5 woman with brown eyes who weighs about 140 pounds. Luis Caprio, 64, is about 6-feet tall and 200 pounds. He has brown hair and eyes, authorities say.

They may be in a 2013 blue BMW 740i with the Florida tag CBDB47.

Authorities initially said Castro and the boy may had been heading to a residence in the 4000 block of Park Avenue in Coconut Grove.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Jupiter Police Department at 561-799-4447 or the Florida Department of Law Enforcement at 888-356-4774.
