 A woman accused of abusing a 2-year-old girl to the point of causing the baby’s death and then not showing up for her trial was arrested Tuesday in Portland, and authorities say the woman may have been living in a Vancouver apartment for the past year. 
 
 Janet Killough Barreto is wanted in Mississippi for failing to appear on charges of manslaughter of a child, three counts of child abuse, six counts of child neglect and tampering with a witness, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. 
 
 Barreto and her husband, Ramon Barreto, allegedly traveled to Guatemala multiple times in 2005 and 2006 to adopt children, but when they returned to the U.S., the couple allegedly abused the children, left them malnourished and forced them to live in “deplorable conditions,” according to a news release from the law enforcement agency. The children reportedly received abusive punishments, including being duct-taped to their beds, punched in the stomach and having their heads submerged under water. 
 
 In 2008, one of the adopted children, a 2-year-old girl, died as a result of the abuse, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. 
 
 Janet Barreto was arrested in 2008 and released on bond. The following year, she was arrested for witness tampering and released on bond again. Two months later, she didn’t show up for her trial in the death of the 2 year old. 
 
 “Janet Barreto is a malicious individual who allegedly abused innocent children on multiple occasions and forced them to live in appalling conditions,” William Snelson, U.S. Marshals Service’s assistant director for investigative operations, said June 2013 in a news release announcing that Janet Barreto had been added to the agency’s 15 Most Wanted list. 
 
 A reward of up to $25,000 was offered for information leading to Janet Barreto’s arrest. Barreto’s husband also was sought by authorities. 
 
 At about 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, someone spotted the couple with an 11-month-old boy leaving Burlington Coat Factory in the Jantzen Beach SuperCenter, said Eric Wahlstrom, a supervisory deputy U.S. Marshal. The couple was taken into custody and authorities called Child Protective Services to take the boy. 
 
 The Barretos were using the aliases Emily and Juan Chavez, Wahlstrom said. Officials recently interviewed one of Janet Barreto’s associates, who said Barreto and her husband have been living in a Vancouver apartment for the past year, he said. 
 
 The couple was booked into the Multnomah County jail and face extradition to Mississippi. ||||| Story highlights She was on the run for five years 
 
 The woman was taken into custody at an Oregon shopping mall 
 
 She and her husband are accused of abusing their adopted children 
 
 For five years, they pursued her, always one step behind as she used aliases and altered her appearance to elude them. 
 
 But Janet Killough Barreto's luck ran out at a shopping mall in Portland, Oregon, where the U.S. Marshals Service caught up with her -- the lone female fugitive in their 15 Most Wanted list. 
 
 "The crimes they are alleged to have committed are nothing short of horrendous and despicable," Union County, Mississippi, Sheriff Jimmy Edwards said, about Barreto and her husband. His department aided in the search because her alleged crimes took place in his jurisdiction. 
 
 "Now it is time to let justice be served."

 Barreto, 43, and her husband, Ramon, allegedly traveled to Guatemala on multiple occasions in 2005 and 2006 to purchase children from a local adoption agency. Authorities say the children were brought back to the United States and were malnourished, physically abused, and forced to sleep on beds with plywood bottoms. 
 
 "The children were purportedly often punished with beatings and on various occasions duct-taped to their beds, punched in the stomach, and forced to endure having their heads submerged under water," the Marshals Service said. 
 
 In 2008, the abuse allegedly led to the death one of their adopted children, a 2-year-old girl. 
 
 Barreto was arrested in May of that year for child abuse, neglect, and manslaughter. She was released six months later on bond. 
 
 On the run 
 
 In March 2009, Barreto was arrested again for tampering with a witness and later released on bond. Two months later, she never appeared in court to face the charges against her, authorities said. 
 
 The Union County Sheriff's Office began searching, aided by the U.S. Marshals when Barreto was added to their "15 Most Wanted" list in June 2013. Authorities asked the public for any information leading to Barreto, offering a $25,000 reward. 
 
 A "Wanted" poster distributed by the Marshals Service said Barreto was known to change her appearance using wigs. It also said Barreto would evade law enforcement through the use of several aliases, fleeing before her true identity was discovered. 
 
 Cornered 
 
 The call came in on Monday. 
 
 According to authorities, the five-year investigation gained considerable momentum when a "concerned citizen" called the U.S. Marshals task force in Oxford, Mississippi, with information that placed Barreto in either Oregon or Washington. The caller also told authorities that the Barretos might have a small child with them. 
 
 The investigation moved swiftly. 
 
 Less than 24 hours after that initial tip, a lead about a possible location sent agents to Oregon. 
 
 They cornered Barreto and her husband late Tuesday afternoon at the Jantzen Beach Center, a shopping mall in Portland. 
 
 At first, the Barretos refused to identify themselves, but the husband was identified on the spot when his fingerprints were verified digitally. 
 
 Though Barreto continued to be uncooperative, her identity was revealed once she was fingerprinted at a local jail. 
 
 "Janet Barreto is a malicious individual. Through her alleged crimes, Barreto demonstrated a blatant disregard and lack of respect for life other than her own," said U.S. Marshals Service Director Stacia Hylton. 
 
 The infant found with the Barretos during their arrest was placed with child protective services, authorities said. 
 
 Six years after the death of their daughter, it's uncertain what the Barretos will face upon their return. 
 
 Both are currently being held at the Multnomah County Detention Center in Portland, awaiting extradition to Mississippi, authorities said. 
 
 It is unknown whether either has retained an attorney. ||||| Courtesy of California Innocence Project 
 
 LOS ANGELES — A married couple from Los Angeles have been jailed in the Middle East on a charge of murder with intent and are being accused of starving their 8-year-old daughter to death, according to a coalition of groups that are working on the case from the U.S. and trying to draw publicity to what they say are unjust arrests. 
 
 Matthew and Grace Huang were arrested in Doha, Qatar, shortly after their daughter, Gloria, died Jan. 15, said Alex Simpson, associate director of the nonprofit California Innocence Project. The Huangs adopted the child from Ghana at age 4. 
 
 The couple's two other children, also adopted from Africa, have been banned from leaving the country and are being cared for by their grandmother, who is living with them there. 
 
 The Qatar Embassy did not return a call or email seeking comment Monday. 
 
 The Huangs moved to Qatar in 2012 so Matthew Huang could work as an engineer on two major infrastructure projects associated with improvements for the 2022 World Cup, according to a narrative of the case posted on the family's website, . http://www.freemattandgrace.com 
 
 Their daughter, who was severely malnourished in early childhood, would periodically refuse food for several days and then binge eat or get food from bizarre sources, such as garbage cans or from strangers – a behavior her parents traced to her impoverished upbringing and were trying to address. She would also try to leave the house at night in search of food and pick through the medicine cabinet on late-night binges, according to a report prepared in the U.S. by Janice Ophoven, a pediatric forensic psychologist who reviewed the case for the family. 
 
 The behavior is not uncommon in adopted children who have suffered from severe malnutrition in their past, the report says. 
 
 Gloria, who was slight for her age, also had been treated for an intestinal parasite, and recent blood tests had showed severely low levels of a certain type of white blood cell that could have been a sign of an underlying bone marrow condition, as well as a vitamin D deficiency. 
 
 When Gloria died, she was in an anorexic episode and had not eaten in as many as four days, Ophoven wrote in her report. 
 
 A Qatari doctor who conducted Gloria's autopsy found that the child's hips, ribs and spine protruded and concluded the cause of death was dehydration and wasting disease. 
 
 Supporters in the U.S. say those diagnoses aren't possible and don't take into account the child's long history of eating disorders and malnourishment that caused lifelong health concerns, as well as recent blood work. 
 
 In addition, the unconventional family – an American couple of Asian descent with three black children – may have also complicated the situation because Qatar officials were unfamiliar with U.S. international adoptions, said Simpson, whose organization is one of several assisting the family. 
 
 An investigative report by Qatari police raised questions about why the Huangs would adopt children who did not share their "hereditary traits" and raised concerns that the children were part of a human trafficking operation or were "bought" for organ harvesting, according to the family's website. 
 
 "That's a fairly uncommon thing in any culture and that may have contributed to it and to the concern that something untoward and nefarious was going on," Simpson said. 
 
 The California Innocence Project is housed at the San Diego-based California Western School of Law and works to free wrongfully convicted inmates. The group, founded in 1999, is one of 48 loosely affiliated Innocence Projects nationwide in the Innocence Network. 
 
 Eric Volz, managing director for the David House Agency, which is coordinating legal and publicity efforts for the family, declined to comment because of the sensitive nature of the case.

– Janet Killough Barreto, who apparently adopted multiple kids from Central America in the mid-2000s, was ultimately accused of abusing one of them to death and released on bond, reports the Columbian. But she was a no-show at her 2009 trial to face charges of manslaughter, child abuse and neglect, and tampering with a witness, and authorities have been looking for her ever since—until now. The only woman on the US Marshals' "Most Wanted" list was arrested in Portland, Ore., on Tuesday with her husband, notes CNN, and officials say the pair may have been holed up in Vancouver, British Columbia, for at least the past year. Barreto and husband Ramon Barreto allegedly bought several children from a Guatemalan adoption agency in 2005 and 2006, but once they got the kids home, what transpired was "nothing short of horrendous and despicable," the sheriff of Union County, Miss.—where the crimes reportedly took place—tells CNN. The children weren't properly fed and suffered physical abuse that was said to include having their heads pushed underwater, punches to the stomach, and being duct-taped to hard-bottomed beds. In 2008, their 2-year-old daughter died, reportedly as a result of abuse, but the Barretos skipped town before the trial. The couple was arrested Tuesday after someone spotted them outside a Portland Burlington Coat Factory with an 11-month-old baby. The baby was placed with CPS.
