  1. Thats good that she reunited with her family. My question is why does people adduct other people for years I don’t understand that.

    1. Too often for reasons too horrific to spell out in a youtube comment, unfortunately. I’m *so happy* to hear this little one is alive & well and with her family again!!! I hope she’s able to make a speedy recovery from the trauma too

    2. It might have been for trafficking, his own sickness or maybe he just wanted a child so bad he took her, I’d like to think it was the last one.

  2. Thank you detectives and officers that worked this case so diligently! Without you all this little girl & her family wouldn’t be reunited. Now they have a real chance at over coming this trauma & living full, happy lives again…you and your team deserve _all_ the credit and praise on this!

  3. Oh thank GOD …. Kidnapped and missing children are to frequent a thing ..happening way to often .. so so glad this one went the way it did .. Family deserved to have their little girl back 🐞

  4. She looks in great condition beautiful smile. Im so glad she was found safe, too often we hear stories that end badly or with no answers at all. I wish her and her family well. Welcome home!

  5. Praise God 👏 🙌 👏 🙌 I’m just so glad to hear that she was finally found and she’s SAFE 🙏❤🙏 THAT’S A MIRACLE 😇🤸‍♂️🌻

  6. Its wonderful to see a happy ending on a missing child, I just wish we could have more success on finding the missing.

  7. Can’t imagine how traumatic this could be for a little one. So thankful to see her smiling in the photograph though, she seems genuinely happy. Hopefully that means she wasn’t abused. Glad she is in safe hands now with her family. Thank Jesus.

  8. These detectives are amazing, there are good ones out there that care about their community’s. Thankyou for bringing Cleo home!
