A twisted Oklahoma couple allegedly used a 14-year-old girl as a surrogate to bear their twins.
Nathan Potier and Erica Palmer, both 36, were arrested Tuesday for allegedly forcing a teenage girl to become pregnant after Palmer was 'unable to conceive.'
The duo allegedly fled the state but were captured 1,450 miles away in Reno-Sparks, Nevada, and arrested on felony warrants by the US Marshals Nevada Violent Offender Task Force.
Potier is charged with one count of sexual abuse of a child, while Palmer faces one count of enabling sexual abuse of a child and two counts of child abandonment, according to records obtained by the Daily Mail.
The arrests followed a three-month investigation after an Oklahoma Child Protective Services caseworker reported in December 2025 that a 14-year-old girl was pregnant with twins, per documents obtained by KFOR.
Oklahoma City Police were called to investigate a possible child sexual assault at an apartment complex near North Penn and Northwest 122nd.
Authorities believed the couple abused the teenager, resulting in her pregnancy, and allege that Potier is the father of the twins.
Before the arrest warrants were issued, Palmer allegedly told police she wanted children but couldn't conceive due to a previous tubal ligation.
A tubal ligation, also called 'having your tubes tied,' is a form of permanent birth control.
Police claimed the couple targeted the victim and later obtained a search warrant to collect Potier's DNA to confirm if he was the father.
However, before authorities could act, Potier and Palmer fled the state.
Further records from the outlet revealed earlier reports from California accusing the boyfriend of sexually assaulting the same 14-year-old girl.
Further allegations targeted Palmer, accusing her of knowing about the abuse.
The teenage victim has been placed in foster care for her safety, according to KFOR.
Both 36-year-olds remained behind bars at the Washoe County Detention Facility as of Friday afternoon.
'This case demonstrates a high level of coordination between investigators and partner agencies,' the Washoe County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
'Law enforcement remains focused on locating individuals attempting to avoid detection and ensuring they are held accountable.'

As the case came to light, outrage poured in on social media.
'Just when when you think people can't be even more evil,' one user wrote, while another said: 'This world is so fked up!'
Records seen by the outlet showed Palmer's bond at $200,000 and Potier's at $300,000.
