A suspected Florida child molester whose alleged victims included his own granddaughter has been captured days after his family teamed up with “America’s Most Wanted” to raise awareness about the case.

Davie Albarran, 51, had been on the run since 2022 for sexual battery and lewd conduct toward two young children. When his daughters, Ana and Yaneiry Albarran, learned of the accusation, they kicked off a viral social media campaign that garnered more than 80 million views online – and the attention of the team at “America’s Most Wanted.”

“We’ll catch that dirtbag,” host John Walsh vowed on the air last week. “I guarantee it.”

It was a life-changing betrayal.

“My dad was my best friend, and I couldn’t believe that he did that,” she said. “As a father you’re supposed to protect your family, not harm them.”

The daughters suspect their father may have had additional victims, based on the responses they received after going public with their story.

“I was flooded with DMs of other people that allegedly said he had also victimized them as children,” Ana Albarran said. “My worst nightmare is that I don’t catch him in time and then he hurts someone else.”

Anyone who believes they may have been a victim should contact their local law enforcement or police in Osceola, where Albarran’s warrants were issued, Callahan Walsh told Fox News Digital.

“It was amazing to get the first one,” he said of Albarran’s arrest. “I knew it was just a matter of time. We were profiling folks that are catchable.”

The Polk County Jail website lists Albarran as being held without bond. He lost about 40 pounds since he went on the run and grew a goatee and a mustache. He is expected to face justice in Osceola County and is also behind on child support payments in Orange County, according to authorities.

The elder Walsh has decades of experience as both the father of a murdered child and as an iconic crimefighter whose TV show helped lead police to more than 1,200 arrests and 61 child rescues.
