BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - One sister of Sylviane Finck Lozada, Ghislaine Finck, arrived in Baton Rouge Saturday evening, reuniting with 12-year-old Angelina, who has been held in the care of a foster family via child protective services after her father, Oscar Lozada, was arrested in Mexico.
According to a post on Facebook from the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office, Major Todd Morris, lead detective on the case, met Ghislaine “in a tearful reunion.”
Oscar Alberto Lozada, 43, accused of murdering his wife in Baton Rouge, was arrested in Mexico and is now in police custody. Sylviane Finck Lozada, a teacher at Brusly High School in West Baton Rouge Parish, disappeared on July 5, 2011.
