Police was alerted after the neighbour's brother suggested on social media that his sibling was involved in kidnapping. He revealed the information since the brothers are involved in a dispute over inheritance.
A man who disappeared 26 years ago, at the age of 17, was found alive just 100 metres from his residence in Algeria. According to New York Post, Omar Bin Omran was rescued from the house of his kidnapper after he went missing on his way to school in 1998. Omar, now 45, was kept in the basement below the neighbour's floor in some kind of sheep pen. The man who kidnapped Omar, a 61-year-old who lived alone, was taken into custody.
