Federal affidavit says Hauser flew on Sun Country
A federal warrant says a Minnesota mother and her cancer-stricken son who is refusing chemotherapy treatments left Minnesota on Tuesday on a Sun Country Airlines flight to Los Angeles.
An FBI affidavit was filed in U.S. District Court on Friday, alleging Colleen Hauser fled Minnesota to avoid being prosecuted on two counts of depriving another of custodial or parental rights.
The paperwork gives the federal government jurisdiction to assist in finding and arresting Hauser on the state charges.
Colleen Hauser and her 13-year-old son, Daniel, were last seen Tuesday in Southern California. Their current whereabouts are unknown.
Daniel has Hodgkin's lymphoma. A judge has ruled that if found, he will go to a foster home so he can be treated for the disease.
