“She’s 14, for God’s sake.
“She’s 14. She’s a victim, too, even though she’s a suspect.”
Nieto said investigators urgently want to get the girl to safety and hear her account of what happened.
She continued: “And we need to locate Mr. Perez, because in my opinion, he’s a serious felon offender, a parent who betrayed everything, every piece of trust that a child puts in their parent.”
Investigators were able to determine that a juvenile female gave birth to the baby on the side of the road and placed him on the ground before leaving the area.
Detectives used license plate-reading cameras to locate the vehicle and subsequently identified the father and daughter.
They later arrested and charged the teen’s mother, 36-year-old Ofelia Garcia Ortega, with child endangerment as a result of the vehicle tracking.
Officials urge anyone who sees Perez to call 911.
Perez is wanted for incest and lewd acts on a minor as authorities continue searching for him and his daughter.

“So that was very instrumental in solving this case, especially the speed in which it was done. Without it, it may have taken years or never.”
