Nothing new on the case from what I can find. However while the case on Charley Project it has a link to his FB. His last post is made Nov. 26, 2015. He describes his side of the physical altercation. It is Aram's side of the story. I'll summarize here but you can read the whole post through the Charley Project link. Basically Aram says he came home to find his wife packing the car and taking the children and moving to Cda (Coeur d'Alene, ID). He says he reached into the car to get a laundry basket of his kids clothes when he was jumped from the back by his wife's father. Upon turning around he noticed the father with a gun. He says the father shot at him several times and he punched the father knocking him to the ground. Aram says he ran while being shot at and called 911. Boundary County Police arrived and arrested Aram for battery and domestic battery. He go on to say he didn't lay a hand on his wife and claims he is the victim.
Aram went missing less than a month later. There is very little that I could find on this case. I wonder what the police are doing they if anything at all.
I found this:
