Missing Girl from 2017 Found Safe in North Carolina After Appearing on Netflix’s “Unsolved Mysteries” Reboot.In a remarkable turn of events, a young girl who was abducted by her mother in July 2017 has been located, thanks to her appearance on the Netflix reboot of “Unsolved Mysteries.”

Kayla Unbehaun, who was just nine years old when she was taken, has been found in Asheville, North Carolina, as announced by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.Her mother, Heather Unhebhaun, who was accused of the abduction from South Elgin, Illinois, in 2017, has since been arrested.

The distressing incident occurred when Kayla’s father went to pick her up from her mother’s residence on July 5, only to discover that she was nowhere to be found. It was later revealed that Heather had packed her car and disappeared with Kayla on July 4.

Following her disappearance, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children shared a photograph of nine-year-old Kayla, along with an age-progression image, in an effort to raise awareness. A Facebook page was also created to spread the word, and periodic news articles highlighted her case in the local community.

It was Kayla’s appearance on the Netflix reboot of “Unsolved Mysteries” that ultimately led to her rescue. A store owner, who had recently watched an episode of the show, recognized Kayla and immediately contacted the authorities, resulting in the arrest of Heather. Kayla, now 15 years old, has been placed in protective custody.

Kayla’s father expressed his overwhelming joy and extended his gratitude to the South Elgin Police Department, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, and all the law enforcement agencies involved in the case. He also acknowledged the immense support from the followers of the “Bring Kayla Home” Facebook page, who played a vital role in keeping her story alive and raising awareness. As they reunite and embark on a new beginning, the family kindly requests privacy.

Heather is currently in custody, held on a $250,000 bond, and awaits extradition to Illinois.

While it will take time for everyone to process the lost years, the most important thing is that Kayla has made it back home safely. Now, the healing can begin.
