<p class="imageCaption">The California man accused of murdering his five-year-old son to get back at his ex-wife appeared carefree in Nevada court on Tuesday for his first hearing.<br />
The 35-year-old was arrested on Friday on charges of murder in the disappearance of his Aramazd Andressian Jr.<br />
Arraigned in a Las Vegas Nevada court, Tuesday, Aramazd Andressian Sr. who is from Los Angeles told the judge that he wouldn&#8217;t fight his extradition back to California to face murder charges in the disappearance of his son.<br />
The boy was reported missing two months ago, when Andressian failed to return him back to his estranged wife after an outing to Disneyland.<br />
Prosecutors believe Andressian killed the boy in the six-and-half-hour period between when the two were seen leaving the amusement park and when Andressian was spotted alone near California&#8217;s Lake Cachuma, over 120 miles from Arroyo Park venue of the father-son excursion.</p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">The boy&#8217;s body was never found, but police arrested Andressian on Friday, June 23, believing they developed a strong enough case to blame him for the boy&#8217;s death anyway.<br />
They also feared he might try to flee the country, since he altered his appearance by shaving his beard and dying his hair blonde.<br />
In court on Tuesday, Andressian said he has not been trying to evade authorities, despite spending the past 47 days in Las Vegas living out of a hotel &#8211; a four-hour drive from his home in Los Angeles.<br />
&#8216;If California wants me they can come and get me,&#8217; Andressian told Justice of the Peace Eric Goodman. &#8216;I never came here in an intent to flee.&#8217;</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">He even cracked a smile when discussing the details of his transfer back to California.<br />
The judge informed him that California authorities had 30 days starting Tuesday to claim him, but &#8216;obviously given the media they&#8217;re going to come pick you up&#8217;.<br />
&#8216;They&#8217;ll probably take me with them!&#8217; Andressian said, smiling and then laughing.<br />
It&#8217;s unclear when he will be extradited back to California. He is currently being held at the Clark County Jail on $10million bail.<br />

Investigators have been searching for the missing boy since his father was found passed out in his car in Arroyo Park, a large park in South Pasadena, on April 22.<br />
Police say the father had taken prescription pills and was found doused in gasoline in what they say was an attempt to take his own life.<br />
The boy was last seen leaving Disneyland with his father around 1am on April 21.<br />
Investigators believe Andressian killed his son a short time later and then drove about 145 miles later that morning to Lake Cachuma in Santa Barbara County.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8216;I can only speak for myself. If my son was missing, I would be doing things that (the boy&#8217;s mother) was doing. Circulating fliers, looking for your son,&#8217;Lt. Mendoza said.<br />
&#8216;He was not doing that. He was socializing in Vegas.&#8217;<br />
When asked if Andressian has been cooperating with investigators, Mendoza said: &#8216;He has not been cooperative, whatsoever&#8217;.<br />
Investigators also believe Andressian was planning to leave the US and flee to a country that does not have an extradition agreement with the US, Mendoza said. Officials declined to identify the country.</p>
