Missing 5-Year-Old Boy Found Safe; Mother Arrested

Fairfax County Police announced Wednesday evening that Cameron Serafin, the Fairfax County boy who has been missing since April 7, has been found safe and his mother Rebecca has been arrested.

Investigators had been looking for Rebecca Serafin and her 5-year-old son since she did not return the boy to his father's home in Great Falls as scheduled.  

“Following information they developed after viewing the video, LVPD detectives located Cameron and Rebecca Serafin at another hotel close by,” according to the Fairfax County Police Department release. “Cameron is safe and in good condition. His mother is being held as a fugitive from justice and will await extradition back to Virginia. Cameron’s father is already making plans to travel to Las Vegas to be reunited with his son.”

Locals say the Serafins lived in Fairfax City for a while before the couple separated.

Fairfax County police said they would like to thank the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Maryland State Police, Amtrak’s Office of the Inspector General, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the Los Angeles Police Department and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
