Zephyrhills, Florida -- Pasco Sheriff's detectives are searching for a man who took off with his 22-month-old daughter and has not been seen since Sunday, June 17.

Detectives say Ryan Linton, 22, picked up his daughter Rian Linton at the Clock Restaurent on Gall Boulevard in Zephyrhills from her mother Sunday afternoon.

At a hearing Friday in Dade City, she was awarded custody of the child. Linton did not show.

Linton is originally from Howell, Michigan and detectives say it is possible he fled the state.

Anyone with any information on the whereabouts of either Linton or his daughter is asked to contact their local law enforcement agency immediately.
