An Illinois teenager who has been missing for over six years was recently found alive in North Carolina, just months after an episode of Unsolved Mysteries mentioning her disappearance aired on Netflix.

Kayla Unbehaun, who is now 15, was nine years old when her mother, Heather Unbehaun, abducted her in 2017, per NBC News. She was reportedly recognized by the storeowner while shopping in a Plato’s Closet in Asheville, North Carolina.

“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. The announcement specified that Heather was Kayla’s non-custodial parent at the time the abduction took place in 2017.

Kayla’s abduction was mentioned in an Unsolved Mysteries episode that aired on Netflix in November 2022. The episode covered two cases where parents abducted their children, and shared composite images of other children whose abductions were still unsolved, including Kayla’s.

Heather abducted Kayla around July 4, 2017, when they were last seen together at a Fourth of July parade in Illinois. Iskerka went to meet them on July 5 for a court-ordered exchange, but found that all of Heather’s social media and her phone had been shut down.

According to the GoFundMe he created soon after her disappearance, this spurred him to file a missing person’s report for both Kayla and Heather.

While Kayla Unbehaun was featured in Unsolved Mysteries, she does not have her own standalone episode. But if you’re looking for Kayla’s Unsolved Mysteries episode number, we’ve got answers: tune into Season 3, Episode 9, called “Abducted by a Parent,” which mentions her disappearance among multiple cases of child abductions.

The episode also shows an approximate image of what Kayla would look like in present day, alongside a wanted poster of her mother.

NBC Chicago reports Kayla will be reunited with her family in Illinois.

Heather is currently being charged with child abduction. She is currently awaiting extradition back to Illinois.
