Missing 5-year-old Aramazd Andressian Jr. is seen in family photos released April 24, 2017, by L.A. County sheriff’s officials.
The search for Aramazd Andressian Jr. has led investigators to Lake Cachuma Recreation Area, where authorities have learned that the boy’s father went on Friday, April 21, according to a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department news release issued Tuesday morning.
Investigators are continuing to search in the area around the lake and are using K-9s and dive team “in hopes of locating any witnesses or evidence leading to the whereabouts of the missing child,” the release stated.
The child was seen on video at Disneyland with his father, Aramazd Andressian Sr., on the night of Thursday, April 20. They left the Anaheim theme park after midnight, a sheriff’s official told KTLA Monday.
The father, at 35-year-old South Pasadena man, was found unconscious in Arroyo Park on the morning of Saturday, April 22. The boy was nowhere to be found, and the father gave contradictory statements to police.
He was arrested on suspicion of child endangerment and child abduction. His bail was set at $10 million.
South Pasadena police released this flier on April 23, 2017.
The boy was last seen by his mother in a Skype conversation on April 18. The child’s parents are in the midst of a divorce but share custody of the boy.
