Utah police have located a missing exchange student from China who's believed to be a victim of cyber kidnappers. Riverdale Police, along with the help of several other law enforcement agencies, announced Sunday that they had found the 17-year-old isolated in a tent at the direction of the kidnappers. The victim's parents, who live in China, say they had received a photo and a note saying their son had been kidnapped, prompting them to transfer approximately $80,000 to bank accounts due to the fake threats. ------------------------------------- Join our newsletter at https://bit.ly/2q1tepr Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scrippsnews/ Follow us on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/scrippsnews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scrippsnews/ Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@scrippsnews
