Kai Zhuang, a 17-year-old Chinese exchange student, was found alive in Utah after being targeted in a 'cyber kidnapping' scheme.

The search involved the Riverdale Police Department, the FBI, and the US Embassy in China. Kai was found with minimal supplies and was able to confirm his safety to his family after being rescued.
