Two sisters are celebrating the arrest of their fugitive father, Davie Albarran, whom they suspected of preying on children. The sisters, whose determination and relentless pursuit of justice became an inspiration, finally saw their efforts come to fruition after a long and harrowing journey.
The nightmare began when the sisters first harbored suspicions about their father's activities. "We didn't know how disgusting he was because he was so good at putting on a very friendly, class-clown type of personality," one of the daughters explained. When a criminal investigation was launched, Albarran fled, evading authorities for 451 days.

Unwilling to let their father escape justice, the sisters took matters into their own hands. They initiated a vigorous social media campaign to track him down, utilizing every platform available to spread awareness. Their posts were urgent and unflinching. "Please share. Paint the city with his face. My father, Davie Albarran, is the family pedo. He is on the run and the cops are looking for him," one reads. Their call to action resonated with many, garnering widespread attention and support.
In addition to their social media efforts, the sisters appeared on the television program America's Most Wanted, which played a crucial role in their campaign. Their appearance on the show brought national attention to their father's case, significantly increasing the chances of his capture.
Their dedication knew no bounds. They even raised money to fund a giant electronic billboard, ensuring that Albarran’s face and the details of his crimes were impossible to ignore.
Month after month, the sisters kept their campaign alive, refusing to let the public or the authorities forget about their father’s crimes. Their perseverance paid off when Albarran was finally recognized from his appearance on America's Most Wanted and apprehended.
Callahan Walsh, cohost of the show, praised their tenacity in an interview with Inside Edition. "Hats off to both of them. They knew something wasn't right in their family and they did something about it," he said.
