A girl who was 4 years old when she was reported missing in 2019 has been found, police in New York announced Tuesday. Authorities said they discovered Paislee Shultis under a staircase in a home with her non-custodial parents.
Shultis was first reported missing from Cayuga Heights in New York three years ago. At the time, authorities believed she was taken by Kimberly Cooper and Kirk Shultis Jr., her non-custodial parents, the Saugerties Police Department said in a statement.
Police said they obtained a search warrant on Monday for a home in Saugerties after they were told that a child was being held "within a hidden location" at the residence. The owner, who was not identified, told police he did not know where the child was, saying he hadn't seen her since she went missing in 2019.
