Just ask the family of three-year-old Kienan Hebert, who was abucted from his Sparwood, BC home on Tuesday, September 6th.
Because as of 3:00 AM on Sunday, September 11th, little Kienan was back home, asleep on his couch, with nary a scratch to show for his ordeal.
No one is quite sure how the child's abductor, who is suspected of being convicted sex offender Randall Hopley, managed to break into the family home a second time and leave the little boy on the couch without being caught by police in the area. However, no one is ungrateful that the suspect evidently heard the family's desperate plea for Kienan's safe return, issued only the day before, and deposited the toddler on his couch before calling 911 to let police know where they could find Kienan.
The tale doesn't end here, though. Because this morning, Hopley was found and arrested in Alberta, three kilometres from the border. He is now in police custody in Sparwood, much to the relief of his mother, Kienan's family, and everyone who was involved in this case or knew the family.
Police are not giving many details about the case to the media, saying that revealing too much could jeopardize their investigation into the case.
But for now, the drama is over and Kienan's family can finally begin to relax.
Happy endings don't only happen in books or movies. They can happen in real life as well.
