“It's hard, I can't even really tell you what I'm doing because I'm just thinking about her and trying to find a way to find her,” said the missing child's mother, aged 2 years, at KIRO Newsradio.

Originally an investigation of the Pullman Police Department, the department works alongside the Moscow Police Departments, Idaho Police Departments and the FBI. The father, Aaron Aung, is from Moscow.

“Seraya was last seen with her father, Aaron Aung, on May 29,” Pullman police said on social media. “The two men reportedly went to Montana for a fishing trip, but did not return. Seraya was scheduled to be returned to her mother in Pullman on June 3, 2024. They did not show up for the scheduled custody exchange.

A woman, Nadia Cole – who was reported missing last week after last being seen at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) – is believed to be the father's fiancée, with law enforcement saying she is involved in one way or another.

“Aaron Aung may be traveling with Nadia Cole, 21, officially a resident of Pullman,” Pullman police continued in their statement. “Cole was reported missing to the Port of Seattle Police Department on May 28, 2024.”
