New evidence shows Aaron Aung and Nadia Cole may be driving to Mexico with Aung's young daughter, police say
20K reward for missing 12-year-old girl
Fox News’ Madison Scarpino reports on the Georgia community’s ‘desperate’ search for the missing Maria Gomez-Perez.
A recent Washington State University graduate and her Idaho fiancé may have fled to Mexico with missing 2-year-old Seraya Aung Harmon, according to the Pullman Police Department.
Seraya was last seen with her 21-year-old father, Aaron Aung of Moscow, Idaho, on May 29. That same day, Aung's fiancée, 21-year-old Nadia Erika Cole, was last seen at the Seattle International Airport preparing to leave for a family vacation in Italy, according to police and a statement from Cole's family.
"Initially, Aung was thought to have traveled to Montana because he was seen buying camping gear and a Montana map book in Moscow," police said. "However, the investigation later revealed that Aung and Cole likely traveled to Mexico in a black 2014 Cadillac XTS with Idaho license 1L5147U."
Authorities on June 5 issued an arrest warrant for Aung for first-degree custodial interference for allegedly violating a court-ordered parenting plan. Seraya was scheduled to be returned to her mother on June 3, police said.
