ERIE, Pa. - Federal prosecutors in northwestern Pennsylvania say Bulgarian authorities have refused to extradite a man accused of kidnapping his 13-year-old son.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Christian Trabold, of Erie, says he's not sure what the government will do next in the case of 34-year-old Chad Zachary Hower.
Hower, who used to live in Edinboro and Titusville in northwestern Pennsylvania, says he has a valid court order from Knox County, Tenn. giving him custody of the boy and permission to travel abroad with him.
Prosecutors are siding with the boy's mother, who claims Hower violated her parental rights by leaving the country with the boy in November 2006.
Trabold says Hower could be charged and extradited if he enters another country that recognizes the federal charges.
