"Her daddy was there for her, as far as I'm concerned," Laro said. "I'm still there, until the day I die."
Laro said the news of the arrest was similar to the news of his daughter's disappearance in 2011.
"I can still remember when I got the news bulletin when I was in the hospital bed, and I wanted to do all I could do to get out of there, to say what I had to say," Laro said. "When they put the cameras in front of me, I begged and pleaded for her to come back home."
Celina used to visit her father and grandparents on weekends. Her family said they suspected Noyes all along.
"The frustration and anger is still there, but what can you do?" Laro said. "If he was here right now, I'd say, 'You deserve what you got. How dare you ever do that to my daughter?'"
