BREAKING: Abducted boy, 7, who appeared on Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries is FOUND
THE KID…
In a remarkable turn of events, Abdul Aziz Khan, a 14-year-old boy abducted at age seven in 2017 from Atlanta, Georgia, has been found safe in Douglas County, Colorado, as reported on March 5, 2025. The discovery came after Douglas County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to what initially appeared to be a routine trespassing call in late February. Through diligent investigation, they uncovered that Aziz had been living with his mother, identified only as Khalid, who had kidnapped him from his father seven years prior. This breakthrough resolved a case that had captured public attention, notably featured on Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries, offering a rare happy ending to a long-standing mystery.
The investigation revealed a complex web of deception, as Khalid and an accomplice, Bourgeois, were arrested and booked into Douglas County Jail on multiple charges, including second-degree kidnapping, forgery, identity theft, providing false information to authorities, and trespassing. The sheriff’s office highlighted the deputies’ sharp attention to detail, which transformed a seemingly minor incident into a significant resolution. The discovery unfolded when deputies found two children in a car on a driveway during the trespass call, eventually leading them to connect Aziz to the missing child case. This case underscores the importance of persistence in law enforcement, as authorities and Aziz’s family expressed gratitude for the support received over the years.

The case highlights both the challenges of parental abductions and the potential for resolution even after years of silence, leaving a lasting impression on those who followed the story through its televised enigma to its real-world conclusion.
