Alicia Navarro update: What we know about former boyfriend Edmund Davis and child sex abuse charges

A man connected to former missing Arizona teen is facing child sex abuse charges. 

Three days after Alicia Navarro walked into a Havre, Montana police station asking to be taken off the missing persons list, police executed a search warrant on the apartment she was sharing with 36-year-old Edmund Davis, according to court documents filed by the Montana Attorney General’s Office. 

Davis, later identified as her boyfriend, had been seen with Navarro before she formally identified herself to officers. When officers arrived at the apartment, Navarro said she was the only one home despite officers spotting Davis in the kitchen behind her. 

Officers seized three electronic devices from the home, including an HP Laptop, an XBox One and a cellphone Davis had thrown into the garbage. 

All of the items were sent back to Glendale Police Department, where Navarro had disappeared from four years earlier, for further analysis.

Why was Edmund Davis arrested?

Access to the information stored on the devices was granted to the Glendale Police Department in early August, with the intention of uncovering more details about Navarro’s disappearance from her family’s home in Glendale. 

Over 80 images depicting sexual abuse and exploitation of children were found on the cellphone, which police proved belonged to Davis. 

Medical experts were called in to determine the age of the children present in ten of the photographs. Most of the children depicted were under 13 years old while two were under 5 years old.

All of the electronic devices were turned over to the Division of Criminal Investigation's computer forensics unit in Helena, Montana after Glendale's review. It was there they found additional material of sexualized children and toddlers. 

Davis is currently held on a $1 million bond at the Hill County Detention Center in Havre, after his arrest Monday afternoon. 

Davis' first count of sexual abuse of children was for knowingly possessing electronic images of a child or children that were 12 years old or younger engaged in sexual conduct.

That charge carries a 100-year prison sentence, 25 of which may not be suspended or deferred. His second count of child abuse has an imprisonment range of four years to life.

How is Alicia Navarro's family now?

It's unclear whether Alicia or her family have been reunited, but her mom Jessica Nuñez formally asked the public to move on in a Facebook video in July, a few days after the news broke Alicia had been found. 

Alicia and her family had been in touch via video calls, USA Today previously reported.

“This is not a movie; this is our life. This is my daughter. I love her more than anything in the world and I think I have shown you that. My job has always been to protect her. And just as I never gave up on her before, I won’t stand for the treatment of her now. There is an ongoing investigation, and I am begging you to move on,” Nuñez said. 

Nuñez also thanked the public for the amount of support the family has received since her daughter’s disappearance four years ago. 

“I could never have kept going without all of your love, help and well wishes. I can’t even put into the words the amount of gratitude I have for you all,” she said in the video. 

'I will light a candle for you'

In a news conference by the Glendale Police Department on July 26, officers assigned to the case reported that Alicia was found safe, healthy and happy.  

“Alicia by all accounts appears to be in good spirits. She really just wants to move on with her life. She is very apologetic to what she has put her mother through. And she understands that she has caused a lot of pain to her mother, and it was not intentional on her behalf, and she is hopeful that they can have a relationship,” according to an officer with the department. 

On what would have been the four-year anniversary of Alicia leaving her a mother a note that said: “I ran away. I will be back, I swear. I'm sorry,” Nuñez wrote on Facebook how different this September was from previous years. 

“The media passing out flyers and the unknown is longer she is alive and her location has been discovered I am focusing on the positive that she is alive! The miracle that she is alive is on my mind today.” 

A week later on Alicia’s birthday, her mom wrote that she wanted to wish her daughter a happy birthday. 

 “I know this message will be seen and I just want to say that I love you and will always will be here I remember today I gave birth to a special baby that I love with all my heart and always will We are connected always 5 years of birthdays celebrating at heart like I always do I will light a candle for you.”
