Current Events > Teen REUNITES with Mom after her Dad ABDUCTED her to MEXICO!! Could you tell??

(+) Yeah! (+)

A Florida Mother is finally reunited with her missing daughter 14 YEARS LATER after she contacted her on Facebook from Mexico claiming she was her daughter and didn't believe it was her even meeting face to face!!

19 y/o Jacqueline Hernandez was 6 years old when she was abducted by her father, Pablo Hernandez from Clermont, Florida and taken back to Mexico on December 2007.

Angelica Vences-Salgado said she received a message on FB claiming to be her daughter as the pair made arrangements to meet up at the Gateway to the Americas Port of Entry in Texas last Friday.

She reached out to police toa dvise them on a proposed reunion as detectives reached out to the Central Florida Intelligence Exchange and Homeland Security Investigations in Orlando to confirm her identity

They were both picked up by HSI and US Customs and Border Protection where after 3 hours of reviewing documents, including finger prints and birth certificates, they were able to confirm it was Jacqueline and the mother and daughter were finally reunited

Jacqueline said her father raised her by himself in a city south of Geurrero and had a good childhood but missed her mother growing up. She used FB to track her down who at first didn't believe it was her until after talking for awhile the mother realized it was her

Jacqueline left her father 3 months ago and set off on a 868 mile journey to the US-Mexico border where she met her mother

Angelica told Unisivion she froze and almost fainted upon meeting her daughter again as her life was complete again and filled with happiness knowing her daughter is alive and well

Jacqueline has now moved in with her mother and is studying international business at a university Mexico

Homeland Security said this was a great example of how strong partnerships in law enforcement can work to solve problems no matter the complexity and distance

They said at this point they are actively working with the FBI and other agencies about trying to apprehend the father but as of now he has not been arrested OR charged in connection with the abduction

Could you tell that was her just based on old photos?

Damn. I can't imagine the kind of pain, heartbreak and relief that ordeal must have put them through. :( I don't know the whole story, but at the very least its a far happier ending then what usually happens with kidnappings.

The face looks pretty much the same

---

Kind of uncanny how recognizable she is. Granted, a million people probably could be tied to that picture, but still.

I'm kinda wondering why a kidnapping was necessary? Unless the mother was deemed an unfit parent, or was the crazy, abusive, stalker type of ex? That's the only reasonable explanation I can think of. Otherwise the two could have settled for joint custody, or limited visitation if one of them was a fucked up person.
