READING, Pa. — A Pennsylvania woman sought in an interstate custody case has been arrested in Raymond, Washington, a day after a TV show about the case aired.

The FBI says tips from “The Hunt with John Walsh” that aired Sunday on HLN led them to 46-year-old Maria Cabrera-Gutierrez and her 4-year-old son.

The boy’s father contacted authorities after a Berks County judge ordered the woman to share custody in August 2014. Instead, Cabrera-Gutierrez caught a bus to San Antonio in November 2014. The man and authorities had been unable to track her down until her arrest Monday in Raymond.

She’s charged with interference with the custody of a child and concealing a child’s whereabouts, and flight to avoid prosecution by the FBI.

A Washington state jury on Wednesday, June 22, 2022, awarded the Lummi Indian tribe $595,000 over the 2017 collapse of the net pen where Atlantic salmon were being raised, an event that elicited fears of damage to wild salmon runs and prompted the Legislature to ban the farming of the nonnative fish.
