Celebrity Justice
Musician's Lil' Girl Found -- Mom Now at Lynwood

The three-year-old daughter of electronic musician Brian Transeau -- who performs under the name BT -- was found last night after a month-long search, TMZ has learned.
BT
A team of U.S. Marshals, two private investigation teams and the Santa Monica P.D. had been searching for Kaia since December, finally locating her last night. Her mother, Ashley Duffy, was taken into custody and is currently being held at the Lynwood Jail (Paris' old stomping grounds) without bail.

According to authorities, Duffy absconded with Kaia from Transeau's Maryland hotel room -- Duffy was there for a visit but instead took the kid. A warrant for Duffy's arrest was issued two weeks ago for "out-of-state child abduction from the lawful custodian" as well as "out-of-state child detention from the lawful custodian."

Transeau (BT) has scored a bunch of Hollywood hits, including "Monster" and "The Fast and the Furious."

20. This is from ABC news forum:

"UPDATE: The case has been dismissed in Maryland. This afternoon the judge dismissed the case and all chrages. Here are the facts:1. Maryland did not have jurisdiction because Ashley and Brian did not have residence in Maryland for 6 months. Brian misrepresented this in his court filings.2. There is also an existing custody order in California in which Ashley has 65% custody. Brian did not make the judge aware of this.Color commentary:The judges in Maryland and California are extremely unhappy with Brian's actions. Note only did he knowingly mislead the Maryland court, he also orchestrated having Ashley arrested yesterday evening the day before the judge in California was going to rule on the case."

22. This is the rest of the article on ABC News forum

"Ashley wasn't on the run...she was headed back to California where there was already an existing custody order. Why did she do this?...because based on Brian's actions Ashley was afraid that Brian was planning to take Kaia from her....all of which we now see is true.To all the BT fans....ask yourself what kind of person does this type of thing? How can you have ANY respect for a person that would post lies on the internet and lie to the courts...putting his child and the child's mother at risk from a psychotic fan?Hopefully all of Ashley's detractors will have the guts to apologize....hopefully ABC will interview Ashley to get her side of the story and print a retraction."

25. The douche musician is trying to mislead public online. He sent out several press releasees pointing the mom did something wrong but the court says otherwise. It takes an evil person trying to destroy your kid's mother like that.

If she hadn't done something terribly wrong she wouldn't be in custody, in jail, wityout bail. Your attempt at "spinning" the truth is pretty half-assed.

30. It's terrible to kidnap and is against the law, but a blood mother should not be held without bail. A mother's love is forever.
