‘Most Wanted’ couple accused of child murder, sex abuse caught in Mexico

A Washington State couple who allegedly tortured their 7-year-old son to death has been busted in Mexico — more than a month after landing on a federal “Most Wanted” list.
Edgar Salvador Casian-Garcia, 34, and his girlfriend, Araceli Medina, 38, were apprehended by the US Marshals Service Friday, after spending nearly two years on the lam.
The pair are also accused of abusing their other children.
Five of their kids, who were described as missing and endangered, were found with the parents and rescued.
“The crimes that Araceli Medina and Edgar Casian-Garcia are charged with are heinous and we commend the unwavering dedication of law enforcement,” said John Bischoff, of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
Law enforcement officials launched an investigation into the couple after discovering Casian-Garcia’s two biological daughters, then ages 8 and 3 years old, alone at a gas station in Tijuana in 2020.
The Marshals Service said in a statement that both children showed signs of “severe physical and sexual abuse.”
Araceli Medina, 38, and her boyfriend, Edgar Salvador Casian-Garcia, 34, have been arrested in Mexico on charges of murder, child sex abuse and sex trafficking.
