On Tuesday morning, multiple law enforcement agencies executed a search warrant at a home in Idaho, in connection with a missing toddler girl, Seraya Aung Harmon.
According to the Moscow Police Department, investigators are searching for evidence in connection with the 2-year-old, who was last seen with her father, Aaron Aung, on May 29.
Moscow Police Chief Anthony Dahlinger declined to divulge additional information about the search, but the warrant states it’s the family home of Aaron Aung, according to the department’s Facebook page.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, Pullman police, in collaboration with the Moscow Police Department and the FBI, began investigating when Aung failed to return Seraya to her mother on June 3, for a scheduled custody exchange in Pullman.
“Please just bring her home. That’s all I care about, that’s all the police care about right now. Just bring her home. Please. I am begging you with every bit of me.” Seraya’s mother, Samara Harmon, said, according to NBC’s KHQ.
Pullman Police Department said Aung and Seraya went to Montana for a fishing trip but never returned. Police subsequently issued a warrant for Aungโs arrest on a custodial interference charge.
Earlier this month, Pullman police said Aung and his fiancรฉe, 21-year-old Nadia Cole, likely fled to Mexico in a black 2014 Cadillac XTS with Idaho license plate, 1L5147U. The Cadillac is registered to Aung’s father.

In an interview with CrimeOnline’s Nancy Grace, Samara discussed the manipulation she experienced in her relationship with Aung.
“He stated things in a way that would manipulate me or kind of make me think one way when he meant it another,” she told Grace. “Times when he would kind of try to weaponize her…I wanted video surveillance of every time she’d been dropped off, every time I had handed her over, so he couldn’t try and claim something that I knew to be false.โ
โThere’s been a lot of things he’d said throughout our relationship about how he had connections so I’d never get to see her again. And he would bring things up like that all the time to try and use them against me and make me not want to say anything about our relationship or any of my fears or concerns.”
