A young boy was found safe and healthy when he was seven years ago when he kidnapped him seven years ago.
Abdul Aziz Khan, 14, played in Netflix’s unsolved mystery documentary, was kidnapped in Atlanta, Georgia in 2017. Police found him in Colorado in February and he was found by chance after officers were consulted for burglary.
The owner of the home, who has not yet been identified, found two intruders on the home surveillance camera and called 911.
Deputies from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office arrived at the scene and found two children behind a car parked in the driveway.
One of them was identified as Aziz, who last saw more than 1,500 miles in 2017.
Deputies began to talk to Aziz and another child, and then watched a man and woman enter the stolen house.
The two who appeared claimed they were working with real estate agents, and investigators later found them lied.
The sheriff’s office said the two were later identified as Rabia Khalid, 40, and Elliot Blake Bourgeois, 42.
They then identified a child in the car as Khan, who was his custody mother and wanted for kidnapping his son.
Khalid had an active arrest warrant for her arrest, and officials charged her with felony kidnapping.
Khalid and the bourgeoisie were both arrested and booked in Douglas County Pain, which included secondary kidnapping, forgery, identity theft, disinformation to authorities, and trespassing.
Officials said in a press release that their bonds had a bond of $1,000,000 per person.
Khan was under protective custody, while the young child was not released.
“We are overwhelmed by the fact that Aziz was finally discovered.
We want to thank you for your support over the past seven years. We especially want to acknowledge the excellent work of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in solving this case.
“Now, as we browse the next step, we ask for privacy so that we can move forward as a family and recover together.”
Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly said: “Our deputies responded to calls that initially seemed like routine intrusion, but they found the truth thanks to a keen focus on detail and tenacity.
“They recognize the difference in the suspect’s story and follow the clues, even if the situation seems unclear, which ultimately leads to a safe recovery for a child who has been missing for seven years.”
Khalid failed to hold a custody hearing in Atlanta, Georgia in November 2017, the U.S. Marshal’s Office said.
They said she packed her bags and fled with her son and new husband, whom they were considered bourgeois.
The kidnapping took place after years of custody disputes between the boy’s father Abdul and Khalid.
The couple separated in 2014, and Khalid moved his son from New Orleans, Louisiana to Atlanta, Georgia, according to the missing children.
Abdul had previously said that Khalid made it difficult for the boy’s mother to see young people.
According to the Marshal’s Office, it was obvious that Khalid would lose custody of her son, causing her to run away from the child.
The case was also part of Netflix’s “Unsolved Mysteries” show and thanks them for thanking them.
“This significant development came after seven years of search,” U.S. Marshal Smith III of Louisiana’s Eastern District said in a statement.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all those involved in the recovery efforts, especially the authorities in Douglas County, Colorado for their quick and effective actions.
“In addition, we would like to thank NCMEC, Netflix’s unsolved mysteries, and Crimestoppers GNO for bringing public attention to this problem.”
