Lisa DeLong suspected something
was wrong as she listened to her
tenant's story.
The man rented the apartment
under the name Ethan Hargrave
and said his 1-year-old daughter
was named Emily. Then he
accidentally called himself and his
daughter by different names.
He even spoke of raising the girl as
a single father after her mother was
deported to Russia.
"Throughout the course of a couple
days, there was just some strange
things that didn't add up," DeLong
said.
Following a hunch, DeLong went on
her computer and searched for
missing children. She saw a photo
of Emily under her real name -
Aubrey Grace Goodson, 17 months
old, who had been reported missing
two weeks ago from her home in
Waurika, Okla., a small city along
the Texas-Oklahoma border.
This evening, the girl was reunited
with her mother, Amanda Edwards,
who flew in from Oklahoma. Police
are still searching for the father,
whose real name is Bradley
Goodson, 32, of Texas










Below is some tips if a parent takes your
child without your permission. Always
start by calling your local police
department. Then.......
1 Enter their name -Do a search online
of their name. Get a Full Background
2 If you know the person call their phone
leave them a reasonable message. Like
we can work this out. Say whatever you
can to regain that persons trust.
.
3 Get in touch with the National Center
for Missing and Exploited Children at
(800) 843-5678. The center can help you
search and get information about your
child out to the public.
4 Gather recent photos and descriptions
of the child and other parent, and
distribute them to the police.
5 List names and addresses of anyone
the parent might be with or anyplace the
parent might have gone.
6 Ask for information from everyone you
can think of who might know where the
other parent has taken the child. Share
all of this information with the police.
7 Contact local television stations for
publicity.
8 Have friends and family pass out flyers
and photos and post them prominently.
Online as well as in communities.
9 Obtain custody. Even if you currently
have joint custody, you should file for full
custody of the child. Most states will
award full custody to the other parent
when there has been a parental
abduction. Having custody will make it
easier for you to get other states and
countries to assist you.
10 Contact the U.S. Department of State
Passport Services at (202) 955-0231,
and have the child's name entered in the
passport name-check system so that the
child cannot be taken from the country.
11 Consider whether the other parent
may have taken the child out of the
country. If you believe this is the case,
have the local police contact Interpol. You
should also contact the U.S. Department
of State and request that they open a
Hague case. A Hague case requests
assistance from the United Nations in
tracking down the other parent.
12 Hire a private investigator. Public
agencies do not have time to focus
exclusively on your case. A private
investigator works for you and will spend
as much time tracking down your child
as you can afford.
