A man has been arrested in the disappearance and death of his ex-girlfriend and their daughter – who he kept a secret from his own wife – eight years after the duo vanished in South Florida .
Gustavo Castaño, who has been a person of interest in the case since the beginning, was indicted by a federal grand jury on two counts of kidnapping resulting in death, according to Local 10 News. FBI officials announced his arrest on Tuesday, a day after agents told families that Castaño had been taken into custody.
The arrest comes more than eight years after Liliana Moreno, 42, and their daughter Daniella, 8, went missing on May 30, 2016.
“It has been eight years and we haven’t heard anything from them, so it was really, really shocking and unbelievable,” Lilana’s brother, Eduardo Moreno, told Local 10 News.
Liliana and Daniella were last seen near a Home Depot on Okeechobee Road in Hialeah Gardens, Florida, according to the FBI.
