| In a custody ruling in November, Aja's mom was ordered to keep the girl away from her husband, Lester Hobbs |
Police aren't saying how Tonya was murdered. But they do seem to be worried that she's in the company of Lester Hobbs.
In November, Aja's biological father was given emergency custody of the little girl. There's no word yet on the reasoning of the order, but it expressly stated Tonya would be given only supervised visitation, and that she would keep the girl away from Lester, who has previous felony convictions.
The girl is believed to be traveling in her stepdad's car, a 1992 Toyota Paseo with no hubcaps and plastic covering the rear window. She is 4-feet-tall and weighs 65 punds.
Lester is described as 5-foot-9, 185 pounds with a mustache. His car has an Oklahoma license plate with the number 577-BPW.
UPDATE: Police believe Lester Hobbs is traveling with the girl somewhere in the western states.
Oklahoma investigators think he may be in Texas, Oregon or California, where he has relatives.
There's still no word on why a judge ordered that Hobbs be kept away from Aja, he does have a fairly impressive record as a low-rent criminal. His convictions date as far back as 1983 burglary, drunk driving, eluding police, resisting arrest and assault and battery with a deadly weapon.
Hobbs and Aja
were last seen Saturday night when the girl and her mother went to visit him at his sister's trailer home, which is on the same property as Tonya Hobbs' RV. UPDATE II: Lester Hobbs reportedly threatened to kill his wife and her daughters if she ever left him. Police believe the first part's come true. In seeking a protection order in August, Tonya Hobbs wrote that "My husband has threatened to hit my daughters in the head with a hammer and kill them." At least the first part has come true. On Sunday, Tonya took Aja to visit Lester in hopes of reconciling. Her other daughter was staying with relatives. Police aren't sure exactly what happened, but Tonya was later found beaten to death in her RV. Police aren't waiting around to ask Lester about it. He's been charged with her murder. But detectives still have been able to locate him or the girl. An additional Amber Alert has been issued in Texas, where Lester has relatives and may have traveled.
