It's March 11th in Durham. Let's get into the news. A five-year-old girl kidnapped from California back in June of 2020 has been found safe in Eastern North Carolina. Now 11 years old and known as Karen Rojas, she was attending school there under a fake name. This amazing recovery happened after investigators confirmed her identity through a tip from the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. Earlier this week, deputies from the Washington County Sheriff's Office in North Carolina got the lead and checked local school records. They quickly verified it was her and took the girl into protective custody. Multiple agencies from both states worked together to make sure she was safe right away. This case stands out because it's such a rare happy ending for a missing child after almost five years. Officials called it an outlandish discovery, especially since no one had announced any arrests yet. The community and law enforcement are relieved, she's out of harm's way. Investigators are now digging into how she ended up 2,650 miles away from home. They're
piecing together her journey, but details are limited due to her age and the ongoing probe. For now, the focus is on her well-being and authorities say more information will come as the investigation wraps up. It's a reminder of how persistence pays off in these tough cases.
