Ulibarri had a warrant for his arrest and was going to lose custody of the child. Officers said Ulibarri found out about the arrest along with a search warrant before authorities arrived.
DCFS crews said there were “dangerous conditions for the child” and asked for SLCPD’s help around 8 p.m. Tuesday night.
Ulibarri was in a gold ’97 Toyota Camry that was located around 5:20 a.m. Wednesday in South Salt Lake. However, Ulibarri and Nakhawit were not located.
Police said two others were in the Camry and Ulibarri swapped vehicles before police found them. The other two individuals were working with police.
