A teenage girl who was abducted by her mother six years ago was found alive in North Carolina last week. The girl's disappearance was also featured in Netflix's "Unsolved Mysteries". Kayla Unbehaun who turned 15 in January was 9 years old when she was abducted by her mother, Heather Unbehaun, during a parental visit in Wheaton.
The girl's mother was arrested in Asheville, North Carolina, on a fugitive charge, an arrest report states. She is expected to be extradited to Illinois, according to NBC News.
According to police, a woman at Plato's Closet in Asheville recognized Unbehaun from "published media" about the case and contacted the authorities.
"I'm overjoyed that Kayla is home safe. I want to thank the South Elgin Police Department, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and all of the law enforcement agencies who assisted with her case," Kayla's father, Ryan Iskerka, said in a statement Monday through the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
