In what appears to have been a child custody dispute between a woman and the two fathers of her two children, Brittany Dunn, 25, and her husband Peter Barr (stepfather to the children), took off in the night and vanished last year just after Thanksgiving.

But, thanks to detailed records by digital music and movie services Spotify and Netflix, a search warrant allowed federal investigators to finally locate them last week, according to a report on the Coloradoan.

After seven months of searching for the two adults and no luck finding them or the children, investigators started to take a different approach. They knew that the duo were users of the online streaming media buffet services, so, once they were able to get the search warrants executed for their accounts, the detailed records of their usage indicated that the pair were in Mexico, where they used those online media services.

The couple, along with the two girls, were detain in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and sent back to the U.S.

Nunn was just about to lose her custody battle with the respective fathers to her two daughters, but there were no details as to why. That is when she and Barr decided to take off and there was no hope of finding them before the federal investigators leaned toward the online media accounts.

The two men, Steven McMorrine and Dayton Clevenger, who were fighting Dunn for full custody of their respective children have had an exhaustive ordeal that seems to have brought them closer together and they worked as team to see the fugitive pair brought to justice.

Fortunately, both men have been granted full custody of their respective daughters after they were returned to them last Wednesday at an airport in Colorado.

I just hugged her," McMorrine said about his daughter to the Coloradoan. "It was just a long hug. I told her that I loved her and that I was missing her. It was just a very surreal moment."
