(6-9-25) The Wayne County (Indiana) Sheriff’s Office is asking for help locating missing 3-year-old Ariana Mullin, who they say is being unlawfully withheld from her legally recognized custodial parent.

Mullin was reportedly not returned after a court-ordered custody arrangement was settled, and has not been seen since. Police say the child’s whereabouts are unknown.

Investigators believe the little girl’s grandmother, Anna Mullin, was the one who took the child. Anna reportedly has not complied with the court’s order and has not disclosed where Ariana is.
