Kayla Unbehaun, a 15-year-old girl who was abducted by her mother when she was nine, has finally been found after an unidentified stranger in a shop in Asheville, North Carolina recognized her from an episode of Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries.
The National Center for Missing And Exploited Children (NCMEC), an organization that has been attempting to locate Kayla for the past six years, stated that her non-custodial mother, Heather Unbehaun, abducted the young girl from South Elgin, Illinois on July 5, 2017.
According to Kayla’s father Ryan, Kayla had been staying with her mother for a few days. When Ryan came to pick her up, Kayla and her mother were gone.
Heather Unbehaun did not have custody of her daughter and was only allowed supervised visits, CNN reports, and police issued a felony arrest warrant for her on kidnapping charges on July 28, 2017
