When 15-year-old Kayla Unbehaun vanished in 2017, she was only 9 years old and in the custody of her non-custodial mother, Heather Unbehaun.
Ryan Iserka, Kayla’s father, told CNN station WBBM that Unbehaun was permitted supervised visitation after he was given full custody of his daughter in early 2017.
However, WBBM reported the following year that he discovered his daughter and her mother had not returned from a camping trip when he went to pick her up on July 5.
Unbehaun was the subject of a criminal abduction warrant issued on July 28, 2017, according to a non-profit agency that helps families locate American children.
Who have been taken by family members, strangers, or who flee. Nearly 360,000 complaints of missing children, including potential duplicates, were sent to the FBI in 2022, according to the agency.
