Kayla Unbehaun, a teenage girl who went missing in 2017 and was featured on Unsolved Mysteries, has been found safe in North Carolina after four years. Her recovery came when a Good Samaritan recognized her during a shopping trip and alerted authorities. The discovery brought relief to her family and those who followed her case.
Kayla’s mother, Heather Unbehaun, had custody of her when she disappeared and was arrested on a fugitive charge following her daughter’s return, though the reasons for her arrest remain unclear. Kayla’s biological father, Ryan Iskerka, expressed overwhelming joy and gratitude for the reunion. The case’s exposure on Unsolved Mysteries in 2022 played a key role in raising awareness, while the community’s vigilance was crucial in bringing Kayla home.
