A Utah teenager who disappeared in May of 2025 has been found alive in Oregon after spending more than 500 days in captivity, and a 39-year-old man has been arrested in connection with her disappearance.
Kylie Arellano, who is now 17 years old, was rescued from a home in Oregon after authorities received a tip from the parent of another player she had met through the online game “Among Us.” The suspect, identified as Adam Hunter Harmel, has been charged with transporting Arellano across state lines with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity.
Arellano was last seen by her family in Garden City, Utah, on May 29, 2025. Her mother, Stephanie Coleman, spoke with NBC’s “Dateline” in December as part of its “Missing in America” series, recalling her final exchange with her daughter.
“She goes, ‘I love you, Mama. Goodnight.’ I said, ‘I love you too, baby girl,’” Coleman recalled. “That was at 9:44 p.m. Her phone turned off at 9:52 p.m.”
The following day, her family realized she was missing. Arellano’s jacket was left in the driveway, while some of her belongings and her Xbox were gone.
After more than 500 days, Arellano was located in Oregon. After meeting another young girl online, Arellano revealed her identity and told the girl she was being held against her will. She also expressed concern that the authorities had stopped looking for her.

Thank goodness, this girl was found safe.
Her big mistake was thinking this guy was her Boyfriend, and agreeing to meet up with him. That was a 500 days-long lesson I hope she will learn from.
Looking at her photo, the girl was then 16 y/o, but has the mature look of a 30 y/o.
She was found alive.
Definitely not safe. Being raped and tortured over 500 days isn’t a lesson and I would not describe it as safe either.
I hope she gets the love and support she needs.
Okay, her captor allowed her to play online video games, a window to the outside world. And she had knife next to her bed. Something doesn’t smell right here.
Also, don’t ask how I know this, but she’s wearing popular bondage style collar in the picture.
Hope she’s all right. And it’s terrible what she apparently went through, but there are some questions I have about this story.
Also do we know the captors voting history. I could guess.
So she went off with him.
She had a knife for self defense.
She was playing on her device.
She says she was captive.
IDK
Big time.
Let’s see, she was abducted, along with her X-box and was allowed to play games online? What’s wrong with that picture?
Gotta be a lot more to this story.
Sounds like she was bored with him and wanted to go home.
