Jaime Dugan, a former Survivor contestant, is under investigation by the FBI after allegedly failing to return her 16-year-old autistic son, Harper, to her ex-husband Erik Huffman as court-ordered in August. Spartanburg County Family Court found Dugan in contempt and authorized her arrest, though she maintains that she is not on the run and claims her son has been in contact with his father via phone. An FBI spokesperson declined to comment but urged the public to alert authorities if they see Dugan.

Story summary
Jaime Dugan, a former Survivor contestant from the season "China," faces arrest and an FBI investigation after failing to return her 16-year-old son Harper Huffman to his father, Erik Huffman, following a custody exchange on August 30. The couple met during their time on the show in 2007 and married two years later but divorced this year amid a bitter dispute that led to a judge granting Erik full custody of Harper. On September 21, Spartanburg County Family Court Judge M. Todd Thigpen ordered Dugan's "immediate arrest" after she failed to return Harper as mandated by the court and missed further hearings.
Dugan has since denied being on the run, stating her phone is active, but she claims Harper fears returning to his father’s care. She handed the phone to Harper, who said he was happy and safe. The case has garnered significant attention in South Carolina and online, with a Facebook page called "Hope for Harper" set up to appeal for information on their whereabouts.
The FBI's involvement underscores growing concerns about Harper's safety, prompting authorities and the public to remain vigilant.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
