Lilliana was last seen around 10:30 p.m. Monday (Jan. 9) at the Burger King restaurant at 3100 Gratiot Avenue in Marysville.
Nardini, 46, was recently served with a court order requiring him to turn his daughter over to her mother, officials said. Instead, he told the girl’s mother that she would never see the child again, according to police.
Police were originally searching for a charcoal gray 2018 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck with Michigan license plate CSP838.
They now believe that Nardini and his daughter are in a silver 2003 Ford Taurus with Michigan license plate EKT-6624. Police say that this vehicle was believed to be last seen near I-75 southbound near 280, just north of Toledo.
“It is believed that Lilliana will be with her father, and they are currently on the run,” Marysville police said in a release.
Anyone who sees Lilliana or her father is asked to call 911. You should not approach them, authorities said.
Anyone with information about the case should call the Marysville Police Department at 810-364-6300, or the Port Huron Major Crimes Unit at 810-984-5383.
