Same person tagged as ‘person of interest’ in disappearance of Luhk sisters<\/div>\n

A former Department of Public Safety firefighter was recently arrested in Burien, Washington state for domestic violence.<\/p>\n

Alan Santos Aguon has been at the King County jail since his arrest on May 8, 2012, a relative of Aguon’s wife told Saipan Tribune yesterday.<\/p>\n

A check with King County, however, indicated that Aguon was arrested on May 10, 2012, on felony charges of two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and harassment in a domestic violence. His bail was set at $500,000 cash.<\/p>\n

The former firefighter allegedly attacked his wife and one of his children with a chair. No other details of the incident were available as of yesterday.<\/p>\n

Aguon is the same person referred to by former DPS commissioner Ramon Mafnas as the firefighter who refused to undergo a lie detector test in connection with the investigation into the disappearance of sisters Faloma and Maleina Luhk.<\/p>\n

DPS investigators at the time refused to name the firefighter, saying only that he is a \u201cperson of interest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aguon resigned from DPS last year.<\/p>\n

Sources said he sold his 2003 Toyota Camry before he left Saipan on Aug. 6, 2011, to reunite with his wife and children in Washington state.<\/p>\n

In August 2011, FBI agents reportedly seized Aguon’s car for evidence gathering. After the investigation, sources said, the agents returned the vehicle to the new owner.<\/p>\n

Aguon’s wife is related to the Luhk sisters.<\/p>\n

Then 10-year-old Faloma and 9-year-old Maleina were reportedly last seen near a bus stop pavilion in As Teo on May 25, 2011.<\/p>\n

FBI special agent Tom Simon late last year assured that the FBI’s investigation into the mysterious disappearance of the Luhk sisters is ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
