Abdul Aziz Khan, 14, was kidnapped in 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia. He has now been found 1,500 miles away in Colorado completely by chance, after police officers were called out to a burglary. The owner of the home, who has not been identified, spotted two intruders on a home surveillance camera and dialed 911. Deputies from Douglas County Sheriff's Office rushed to the scene and found two children in the back of a car parked on the driveway. They spoke with the pair as the two adults they were with - later identified as Rabia Khalid and Elliot Blake Bourgeois - entered the house. They were arrested after emerging from the property.
