Daniel Leija is wanted in connection with molesting two young girls. He was aired on the Lifetime series finale.
US Marshals say that from 1997 to 2002, Daniel Leija repeatedly sexually assaulted his girlfriend's two daughters. When the girls were 11 and 14-years old, they came forward to police regarding their victimization. Investigators searched Leija's belongings and found over 100 videotapes of the sex crimes. Leija was arrested but his family posted bail and investigators say he fled to Mexico. His ex-girlfriend contends that Leija has made return visits to Sunnyside, Washington to visit family and that his family's claims that he drowned are a lie.
Thoughts? What makes this case even more scary is that at the time of the crimes, Leija worked as a school bus driver, so the two girls he sexually assaulted may not be his only victims. There's also a good chance his family knows about his whereabouts.
