FRANTIC SEARCH FOR MISSING MARIA ENDS: FOUND 600 MILES AWAY WITH MALE SUSPECT

Maria Gomez-Perez lives with her father, Andres Gomez, and cousin, Ricky, in Gainesville, Georgia. Maria's mother is not involved in her life. On the morning of her disappearance, Andres leaves the house at 10 AM, assuming Maria is still asleep. He says goodbye to his nephew, Ricky, and heads out. When Gomez returns home that evening, Maria doesn’t greet him at the door. Concerned, he knocks on her bedroom door, only to find that his daughter is missing. The family frantically contacts neighbors and friends in search of her. Maria is reported missing. Nearly two months later, the case takes a turn. Maria contacts her father via Facebook Messenger. Investigators trace the IP address and manage to locate the device. Maria is found with 34-year-old Antonio Augustin, a Guatemalan native living in northeastern Ohio. Police believe Maria had been communicating with Augustin online for some time.   Subscribe to Never Miss Crime Stories with Nancy Grace!    / @nancygrace   Watch Crime Stories with Nancy Grace:    • Crime Stories with Nancy Grace   Watch Nancy Grace Originals:    • Nancy Grace Originals   Watch Nancy Grace on Alex Murdaugh:    • Nancy Grace on Alex Murdaugh   Enter the world of Crime Online - the ultimate destination for crime awareness and prevention.
