Summary
Kylie Arellano, now 17, was recovered safely in Oregon on Sunday, ending a 500-day search after she disappeared from her Utah home on May 29, 2025.
A 39-year-old man found with her was taken into custody without incident; a law enforcement source said he allegedly met Arellano on Snapchat before she vanished.
Oregon officers carried out the recovery with the FBI’s Salt Lake City and Portland field offices, the Rich County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police and Utah public safety officials.
Investigators had spent more than a year chasing unconfirmed sightings across multiple states and abroad, while recently unsealed warrants showed they had also examined family-related leads inside the home.
The FBI said the case remains active and gave no further details, while pledging to pursue anyone responsible for exploiting children online.
