A Connecticut father is being reunited with his daughter, who was kidnapped by his ex-wife and taken to Mexico in 1999. Andrea Michelle Reyes is now 27.

Connecticut police have found a woman, who was kidnapped 25 years ago from New Haven as a toddler, in Mexico. Andrea Michelle Reyes was taken by her mother, Rosa Tenorio, who did not have custody of her, in October 1999, according to a news release from the New Haven Police Department. At the time, Andrea was almost 2 years old.

A toddler kidnapped from her father’s home in Connecticut has been found safe 25 years later in Mexico, authorities said Wednesday.

More than two decades after a little girl's disappearance, a Connecticut family now has a second chance. Wednesday, her father and his wife thanked investigators.

Andrea Reyes was nearing her second birthday in 1999 when her mother, who did not have custody rights, illegally fled with the girl from a scheduled visitation in Connecticut.
