Oscar's father, Augustine Okechukwu Emeasoba, failed to return him to his mother after a visitation in Silver Spring, Maryland on August 17, 1992. He took Oscar and fled instead. A felony warrant for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution was issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for Augustine on February 18, 1993. There is also a state of Maryland warrant for his arrest for interference with custody, issued in October 1992. He and Oscar have never been heard from again.
