This week, an amazing chain of events led police to solve a cold case of child abduction in the state of Nevada.  It is reported that 31-year-old Eva Marie Fielder walked into a courthouse seeking a name change and marriage license.  After conducting a routine check, officials saw that Fielder was listed as a missing endangered person.

According to reports, Fielder had been missing since she was six years old when her mother took her from a child custody hearing in New Jersey.  Hours later, police were able to track down her mother and discovered that she had been using a fake name.

Captain David Nikoley said, "Through the investigation she finally admitted who she was and subsequently was taken into custody."  Police say that Nancy Fielder had used fake names for herself and her daughter, but officers say the daughter was never in danger. Now, Nancy is in jail and she is facing extradition to New Jersey.

Recently, a mother from the state of California was able to find her estranged children using the social networking site, Facebook.  According to news sources, the missing children were living in Polk, Florida and had been abducted by their father when they were 2 and 3 years old.  The mother, 43 year old Prince Sagala, looked up her daughter's name on Facebook and then began communicating with her. 

The Associated Press said that, "Authorities tracked down the children, now 16 and 17, outside Orlando, Florida, and arrested their father, Faustino Fernandez Utrera, 42, on May 26. He faces kidnapping and child custody charges".

Now it is reported that Sagala is frantically trying to get child custody of her children before they turn 18.  She fears losing them forever as they will be adults soon.

In 1995, Sagala came home to find that her children and her husband had disappeared.  She and her husband were on the verge of divorce and family members told her that he had taken the kids to live in Mexico City. 

At this time, the children are staying with a family friend in Florida as their father has been placed in jail.
