Netflix Episode Leads to Breakthrough

The key break came when a vigilant viewer of Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries recognized Kayla and alerted police. Authorities moved quickly, resulting in her safe recovery and Unbehaun’s arrest.

Custody Battle History

Court records show a tense legal battle between the parents. In early 2017, a judge granted Iserka full custody. Unbehaun was allowed unsupervised parenting time, but concerns over Kayla’s health led the court to give Iserka sole authority over medical decisions.

Concerns Over Bond Release

Iserka’s attorney, John Vojta, criticized Unbehaun’s release on bail, pointing to her six-year fugitive status. Still, Iserka expressed gratitude for the outcome, thanking law enforcement, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, and supporters from the “Bring Kayla Home” Facebook page.

Legal Process Continues

Unbehaun is due in court again Wednesday morning at the Kane County Judicial Center. With the case still unfolding, the public remains captivated by its emotional twists and legal implications.
