An Ohio boy who vanished in 2010 in a case of parental abduction has since been found alive. Andre Aina was five years old when he was last seen in Willoughby Hills, Ohio. The young boy was allegedly taken by his mother, Abir Aina, in the midst of a custody dispute. His disappearance sparked a years-long investigation that crossed international borders. Authorities issued a felony warrant for kidnapping for Abir Aina nearly two years after Andre was last seen. Investigators believed that she had fled with her son to Lebanon. The case was entered into national and international databases for missing children, with law enforcement agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, working on his case. A photo of Andre, reportedly taken after he went missing, was circulated to aid in the search. After a lengthy period with few public updates, the case of Andre Aina is now considered closed, as he has been located. While it is confirmed that he is no longer a missing person, the specific details surrounding the date and circumstances of his recovery have not been made widely available to the public. The overview of the case is one of a prolonged parental abduction that ultimately concluded with the child being found.
