Missing 9-Year-Old Girl Featured On ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ Has Been Found
After a countrywide search, Heather Unbehaun turned herself in in Illinois, where she had abducted her daughter, Kayla, six years prior. After being discovered safe in North Carolina, Kayla was reunited with her father, Ryan Iserka, after being identified by a Netflix “Unsolved Mysteries” viewer. After a parade in South Elgin, Illinois, on July 4, 2017, Heather vanished with Kayla, even though Ryan had full custody of them.
Heather was arrested in North Carolina on an Illinois fugitive warrant; she posted bail and was freed on bond. The case emphasizes the importance of public awareness in resolving missing person situations, as Ryan thanks law enforcement and supporters.
Heather is the subject of legal proceedings, which, after years of uncertainty, represents a major turning point for Kayla’s family. This resolution highlights the public’s and law enforcement’s joint efforts to ensure the safety of those who go missing.
