Warrants issued for father, step-mom wanted in murder of 8-year-old child, trafficking of others

BENTON COUNTY, Wash. - The U.S. Marshals in the Eastern District of Washington state are asking for the public’s help to find 33-year-old Edgar Salvador Casian-Garcia and 37-year-old Araceli Medina, both of whom have nationwide warrants for their arrest for murder, child rape and child abuse.

The charges stem from a horrific discovery of the body of a young boy and a follow-up investigation.

After Edgar Jr's remains were found, warrants were issued for Casian-Garcia and Medina's arrests. Casian-Garcia is Edgar's father, and Medina is his stepmother.

The couple is accused of sexually abusing and trafficking Edgar Jr. as well as a 9-year-old girl and a 3-year-old girl. Deputies say the children were found in Tijuana, Mexico last November after they escaped from a hotel where they were staying with Medina.
