Update: The 15-month-old Auburn girl who was reported missing earlier today was recovered by law enforcement.
The Auburn Police Department reports A-Yana was found safe around 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Her father, Anthony Burton, has not been found.
Burton, 33, is suspected of taking A-Yana after a reported domestic dispute with the toddler’s mother. He may be armed. He is described as bald, 150 pounds, with a beard and mustache and a gold “grill” on his teeth. Burton is believed to be armed.
Burton was last seen driving a black 2006 Chrysler 300 with Washington plate AUY0186.
KIRO 7 reports Burton was the subject of a domestic violence call on Sunday. Burton threatened to kill the mother of A-Yana with a gun during the incident. He also threatened “suicide by cop.” Burton fled with A-Yana before police arrived.
Burton has made comments in the past about killing himself, A-Yana’s mother and the toddler because of family issues, KIRO 7 reports.
