The suspect wanted in their abduction, Kristian Ariel Garcia, 24, is in police custody, officers said.
An alleged accomplice who worked alongside Garcia is currently at large. Police said Rodrick Garcia, 26, is wanted on a charge of kidnapping and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Rodrick Garcia is 5 feet, 8 inches tall, weighs about 165 pounds, has dark brown hair, and has brown eyes. He may or may not have facial hair, police said.
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Rodrick Garcia is asked to contact CCPD at 911. Tips can also be submitted online here.
Details about where the mother and daughter were found are unknown at this time.
Police said Kristian Garcia went to the home of his ex-girlfriend, Jezabel Zamora, and forced her and the toddler to leave with him on Tuesday.
The 2007 Cadillac Escalade that they were last seen in was found on Wednesday.
Officials initially said their disappearance posed a “credible threat to their own health and safety.”
AMBER and CLEAR alerts for the Zamoras have since been discontinued.
