The search continues for a 3-year-old girl last seen in February 2011, after police track down a man claiming to be her father in Pensacola.
Police said they believe Samuel Montes took the then-2-year-old girl, Angelina Montes, on Feb. 28, 2011. Authorities have been searching for Montes and the child ever since.
Officers pulled over Samuel Montes in Pensacola for a traffic stop and realized there was a warrant out for his arrest. He was taken into custody and sent to Miami, where he appeared in bond court Friday morning.
In court, it was revealed that Angelina's mother tried to leave Montes last year amid domestic abuse allegations, but Montes' mother would not let her take Angelina with her. The woman left on her own and returned with agents from the Department of Children and Families to pick up Angelina, but when they arrived, Montes and Angelina were gone, according to investigators.
Although police have found Montes, the search for Angelina continues.
Montes is being held without bond.
