The search continues for a 3-year-old girl last seen in February 2011, after police track down her missing father in Pensacola.

Police said they believe Samuel Montes took his then-2-year-old daughter, Angelina Montes, on Feb. 28, 2011. Authorities have been searching for the father and child ever since.

Officers pulled over Samuel Montes in Pensacola for a traffic stop and realized there was a warrant out for his arrest. He was taken into custody and sent to Miami, where he appeared in bond court Friday morning.

In court, it was revealed that Angelina's mother tried to leave Montes last year, taking her child, but Montes' mother would not let her. The woman left on her home and returned with agents from the Department of Children and Families to pick up Angelina, but when they arrived, Montes and Angelina were gone.

Although police have found Montes, the search for Angelina continues.

Montes is being held without bond.
