Jacqueline Hernandez was reunited with her mother soon after 14 years.
A missing teenager from Florida was reunited with her mother at the US-Mexico border soon after she was abducted 14 years ago. Their official reunion took spot on Monday in Texas, even though the two had initial met at the border last week. The mother and the daughter reunited soon after a reported social media communication amongst them. Jacqueline Hernandez, 19, contacted her mother Angelica Vences-Salgado more than Facebook earlier this month and told her that she was at the moment living in Mexico.
A press release by the Clermont Police Department (CPD) referred to as it a cold case till this month. On September 2, 2021, Ms Vences-Salgado told CPD that she was contacted by a lady who claimed to be her lost daughter. She revealed that the lady had asked her to meet at the point of entry to the US in Laredo, Texas on September 10, 2021.
Following this intimation, police forces in Florida and Texas and investigators from the Department of Homeland Security laid out a program to “intercept” the meeting and confirm Ms Hernandez’s identity.
Within hours of interception, officials verified documents offered by the unique agencies involved and concluded that the lady from Mexico was, certainly, the missing daughter of Ms Vences-Salgado.
As per a BBC report, on December 22, 2007, six-year-old Ms Hernandez was allegedly abducted from her home in Clermont, Florida, by her father Pablo Hernandez.
The press release on Facebook has customers expressing their like and concern to the mother and the daughter. A user wrote, “Incredible and such an emotional story. So happy for a happy ending but can’t imagine the agony all those years. Prayers for the missing.”
Another stated, “Congratulations CPD. You are awesome the way you take credit after this girl found her mother and made their reunion possible. But you do get to close the case, so there’s that.”
“Thank you for going the extra mile to make sure nothing goes wrong and they are both safe,” study one of the comments.
We are not shocked by social media responses. After all, who would not celebrate such a dramatic reunion?
