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."

61. If the case was thrown out, why is this woman still in jail without bail? This is a really strange case. Nobody seems to know what the hell the REAL story is. If it's true that she had 65% custody, though, she should NOT be in jail!

In either case, I think it'll be very interesting to see how much time this woman does, especially since she's at Lynwood. Because she's not a celebrity, I doubt very much that she'll be getting out after serving only ten percent of her sentence. Heck, she's ALREADY served more time than Lindsay and Nicole put together! Lindsay got a slap on the wrist for kidnapping two men (amongst other things), so how much time will this woman do for "kidnapping" her own daughter? Come on, Sheriff Bacca, let's see you be as much of a PRINCE to this common woman as you were to the rich celebrity women (namingly Paris, Nicole, Lindsay, and Michelle)! I'm not holding my breath, though.

62. Typical self-centered, self-important, delusional, sexist, non-custodial mother.

65. I just love B.T. his music is wonderful you can see an excerpt of his musical film on myspace link but his music is all different he has fast and slow music. If you like a rave you would like B.T. I am so glad to hear this. I bet he is giving his child the biggest hug!!:::)))

66. Ashley is my closest friend of 12 years and is an absolutely wonderful mother. She does a wonderful job raising Kaia, you couldnt ask more from a mother. She must have only resorted to this to get her daughter from the hands of Brian...who is a little off balance and totally mentally unstable.
I cannot believe this has happened to her, what a shame!
Ashley has nothing but my total support and love.
