Off The RecordSeven Years After Being Abducted, The 7-Year-Old Kid Who Appeared On Netflix\u2019s Unsolved Mysteries Has Been Found<\/p>\n
Amazingly, a seven-year-old boy whose kidnapping case was broadcast on a Netflix true crime show has been located.<\/p>\n
Just after Thanksgiving in 2017, Abdul Aziz Khan was abducted in Atlanta, Georgia, in what was becoming a baffling \u2018cold case.\u2019<\/p>\n
In its documentary series Unsolved Mysteries, Netflix, a streaming service, brings the narrative to life.<\/p>\n
In an effort to spark public interest and assist in solving certain tragic instances, the show features signposts at the conclusion of each episode where viewers can submit tips.<\/p>\n
In Abdul\u2019s case, it was believed that his mother, Rabia Khalid, had taken him after the courts had given his father full custody.<\/p>\n
In a fortuitous accident, the child was eventually located 1,500 miles away in Colorado.<\/p>\n
The missing child was discovered by police when they were called to a home burglary, according to\u00a0The Mirror.<\/p>\n
After claiming to have spotted two intruders on the CCTV footage of the house that was for sale on February 23, the homeowner called the police.<\/p>\n
When the two adults reportedly broke into the residence, the Douglas County Sheriff\u2019s Office hurried to the site and found two children in the back of a car parked in the driveway. They spoke with the children.<\/p>\n
After being taken into custody at the scene, the two were identified as Elliot Blake Bourgeois, 42, and Rabia Khalid, 40, the mother of the now-14-year-old who went missing.<\/p>\n
Charges against Khalid and Bourgeois include identity theft, forgery, second-degree kidnapping, giving false information to authorities, and trespassing.<\/p>\n
According to the news source, a $1,000,000 bond has been issued for their release.<\/p>\n
The child is in protective custody, and it is unknown who the other child that was discovered in the car with him is.<\/p>\n
\u2018Overwhelmed with excitement\u2019 to have found him again, the boy\u2019s relatives stated in a\u00a0statement.<\/p>\n
