9-Year-Old Girl Featured on ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ Has Been Found Safe
Heather Unbehaun, who was accused of abducting her daughter from an Illinois suburb six years ago, has surrendered herself, marking the conclusion of a widely followed case. She is currently being held in custody at the Kane County Adult Justice Center in Illinois, facing abduction charges without the possibility of bail.
In a recent development, Kayla Unbehaun was discovered safe in North Carolina just days before her mother’s surrender and was subsequently reunited with her custodial father. Heather Unbehaun was apprehended in North Carolina on a fugitive warrant issued by Illinois authorities for charges of kidnapping and child abduction. Initially detained on a $250,000 bond, she was later released after posting bail on Tuesday, as confirmed by Asheville Police Department spokesperson Samantha Booth.
Kayla’s abduction occurred on July 4, 2017, following a parade in South Elgin, Illinois. Heather informed Kayla’s father, Ryan Iserka, that they were going camping but failed to return. Subsequently, a felony warrant was issued for Heather’s arrest.
The breakthrough in the case happened when an individual in Asheville recognized Kayla from the Netflix series “Unsolved Mysteries” and promptly alerted the authorities.
Ryan Iserka expressed gratitude to law enforcement officials and supporters for their efforts in reuniting him with Kayla. Heather Unbehaun is scheduled to appear in court next on Wednesday morning at the Kane County Judicial Center.
