PULLMAN, Wash. — A two-year-old child missing out of Pullman has been located in Mexico, and their father is being held at a detention center in Arizona on custodial interference charges.
According to Pullman police, the two-year-old girl was found at a roadside checkpoint near Santa Ana, Mexico. She was traveling with her biological father, Aaron Aung, and his fiancée, 21-year-old Nadia Cole.
