Teen Allegedly Kidnapped in AZ Found Safe at Canadian Border, Arrests Made

A 16-year-old boy who was allegedly taken to the Canadian border by his mother and uncle as part of a doomsday prophecy has been found safe after a five-day investigation involving the FBI. The family, known for their extreme religious beliefs, believed the boy would play a significant role in the Second Coming and had to be taken to an undisclosed location to understand his calling. The mother and uncle were arrested on valid extradition warrants and turned over to Alaska State Troopers. The case bears similarities to the Lori Vallow Daybell case, with both families driven by extreme religiosity, although Vallow's beliefs were more intense, involving "zombies" and "dark spirits."
