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."

33. "she wouldn't be in custody, in jail, wityout bail. "

Maybe it's because she has no money. It's been said on other websites that the mother had been a stay home mom since the kid was born because the father traveled a lot for work. After they separated, the dad took the child and left California (where the family used to live) even though the mother was granted 65% custody. He moved her daughter and him to another state, sounds fishy like he is avoiding something? The mom was heart broken, she had been with the kid day in and day out since she was born.

34. I think the dad set the mom up so he could be in the news like other famous dad Larry Birkhead. He knew everyone would pay attention to a little girl abducted. It's the golden opportunity for him to get famous since he is not even on the D-list.

By the way, his music sucks ass. It's replaceable like commodity. It's for cheesy rave kids. No one cares.

35. Why does everyone have to bring britney and negative comments into this story? Thank you TMZ for finally posting a story that has actual significance. A step up from the same old "Britney got into her car today".
Thank God that child in safe and home and I hope her mother gets the help she needs to become a responsible and capable mother one day.

36. Bottom-line for all the "spinners" out there, - if she hadn't seriously broken some law, she wouldn't be in jail right now.

IT WAS HER CHOICE TO BREAK THE LAW!!! God, the male-bashing feminist spinners are out in force tonight. The father didn't put her in there, SHE did. He can't get her out, only the state can drop the charges. What a bunch of dopes.

42. *Thank god this ended in a happy sense rather then a tragic one. I am familiar with your work BT and have some of your cds, I'm glad your doughter is back safe and sound with you & I hope things work out for her mother and that she gets the help that she needs, I wish you the best and look foward to more good music to dance too!

43. All the "mother" did was Prove that she isn't the most viable and responsible choice to nurture a child. She put her own interests above those of her own child's. While the child is the greatest "loser", it is at her own mother's hand.

***********************

Probably the same kind of dad as the mother's who let the abusive, selfish, deadbeat, dad's be locked up. In other words, a loving, caring, responsible, father.

45. People you dont get it....why was she running in the first place? She did not hurt the child, its a mothers love that only wanted to keep her, not give her up or back...we dont know what this man is about.Who the hell are we to judge her?She is sitting in jail her baby knows her mother has been taken away...SICK SICK SICK
