A California woman, almost a decade after her mother reported her missing, has come forward to local police saying she was abducted, raped, and held captive since she was 15-years-old. The woman was reportedly kidnapped by her mother’s boyfriend at the time and recently contacted her sister through Facebook and managed to escape, KTLA reports. The Santa Ana, California police department announced the arrest of Isidro Garcia for the kidnapping and sex crimes.
