A 9-year-old Illinois girl who was allegedly kidnapped by her mother nearly six years ago has been found safe, according to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Kayla Unbehaun, now 15, was found in North Carolina, the center said Monday night.
"I'm overjoyed that Kayla is home safe," Kayla's father, Ryan Iskerka, said in a statement.
Someone recognized Kayla over the weekend at a shopping center in Asheville, North Carolina, and called police, according to WLOS-TV. The missing children center and a Facebook page named Bring Kayla Home have been raising awareness about her and posting age-progressed photos of what she might look like. Her disappearance was also featured in an episode of the Netflix series "Unsolved Mysteries."
