DALLAS, Ga. - A nationwide search continues for an 8-year-old Paulding County girl and the man suspected of molesting her.

Paulding County sheriff's officials said they haven't found any trace of 30-year-old Jerry Lee Fagen of Powder Springs and his stepdaughter.

Fagen fled with the girl, her 1-year-old brother and his wife, Casey Lynn Fagen.

Cpl. Brandon Gurley of the Paulding County Sheriff's Office said Friday the family was spotted in the Phoenix, Arizona area on 10 May.

Jerry Fagen and the family fled the county after the girl told her teachers about the alleged abuse. The girl was last seen on April 28, said Gurley.

Fagan may be traveling in a red Ford Taurus SES with a Georgia license AST7861.
