The friend said he last saw Mr Xue in Auckland on Thursday, the day he flew to Australia with his daughter. They stayed in a Melbourne hotel for two nights. Mr Xue bought one return ticket to Los Angeles on Friday at a travel agent. The flight departed at 10.45am on Saturday, almost three hours after he abandoned his daughter.

The friend said Mrs Xue, who is in her late 20s, left her husband about three months ago with Qian Xun, but that the couple had reconciled last month. "I think he solved the problem so his wife came back. He went to Wellington to pick his wife and child up and go back to Auckland," the friend said. "Quite of a few of us went to a meeting there for people from the same home town. At that time only he was there, but after a few days he got his wife and child back."

He left a three year old daughter in a train station, boarded a plane for Los Angeles and dissapeared.

The mother has yet to be found. There is a history of domestic abuse in Australia.

Keep your eyes open for this guy.
