Heather Unbehaun, accused of abducting her daughter from an Illinois suburb six years ago, has turned herself in, ending a high-profile case. Unbehaun is now in custody at the Kane County Adult Justice Center in Illinois, facing abduction charges without bail.
Days before her surrender, Kayla Unbehaun was found safe in North Carolina and reunited with her custodial father. Heather Unbehaun was arrested in North Carolina on a fugitive warrant from Illinois for kidnapping and child abduction. Initially held on a $250,000 bond, she was released after posting bail on Tuesday, according to Asheville Police Department spokesperson Samantha Booth.
Kayla was abducted on July 4, 2017, after a parade in South Elgin, Illinois. Heather told Kayla’s father, Ryan Iserka, they were going camping but never returned. A felony warrant was issued for Heather’s arrest.
The breakthrough came when someone in Asheville recognized Kayla from Netflix’s “Unsolved Mysteries” and alerted authorities.
Ryan Iserka thanked law enforcement and supporters for reuniting him with Kayla. Heather Unbehaun’s next court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday morning at the Kane County Judicial Center.

Battling a decades-long eating disorder, Diane Keaton embraces her scars of aging but is called “ugly” and “fat” by cruel fans
The LA-born Diane Keaton, 77, is a legend with a career spanning over six decades and is one of Hollywood’s most renowned leading ladies.
In her nearly 60 years as an actor, Diane Keaton, a septuagenarian who has garnered countless adoring fans, has mastered a variety of skills. Off-screen, however, the Hollywood “it girl” was a “master at hiding,” dark secrets harboured by a young girl that she now acknowledges are “creepy.”
She began her career on the stage in 1968 as an understudy for a main role in the counterculture musical Hair, when she was spotted by Woody Allen, who later hired her to play his love interest in the Broadway production of Play it Again, Sam (1969).
The then 23-year-old received her first and only Tony nomination for the role of Linda Christie, which she later repeated in the 1972 film adaption of the same name. Although they collaborated on multiple films over the following two decades, her real-life relationship with Woody Allen only lasted a few years, mirroring the fleeting stage romance her character enjoyed with Allen.
The award-winning actor had a few unremarkable cameos in films, TV shows and advertisements before landing her breakout part in The Godfather. In the Oscar-winning movie with unparalleled commercial and critical success, Keaton played the girlfriend and ultimately the wife of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), which significantly increased her fame as an actor.
She returned to The Godfather Part II in 1974, playing the estranged wife of the criminal empire’s boss opposite Al Pacino, with whom she had an on-and-off romance.
“I was mad for him. Charming, hilarious, a nonstop talker,” Keaton tells People, admitting she had a crush on Pacino before they started dating. “There was an aspect of him that was like a lost orphan, like this kind of crazy idiot savant. And oh, gorgeous!”
She and Allen reunited in Annie Hall (1977), which brought her both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. Warren Beatty, Keaton’s co-star and director in several successful films like Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Manhattan, and 1981’s Reds, was the subject of a passionate love affair between the two.
“The first time I saw Warren was in Splendor in the Grass (1961). I mean, come on! He was, I mean, to die for. A Dream. I mean, Bonnie and Clyde? Come on,” she said in an interview with Variety. “And not only was he beautiful, gorgeous and sexy and captivating and mysterious and a great movie star but he was also an unbelievable producer and director, or is rather, is also an unbelievable director and producer. All of this is just so unique.”
As she grew older, the Baby Boom actress expanded her body of work. She then starred alongside Steve Martin as the mother in Father of the Bride in 1991, had her first appearance with Allen in Manhattan Murder Mystery since Annie Hall, and as the divorced wife of the mafia boss in The Godfather Part III in 2000.
She received an Academy Award nomination for her role in the comedy Something’s Gotta Give in 2003. It was her first major box office success since 1996’s First Wives Club, which also starred Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn.
A consummate professional, her co-stars rave about her performances. “She’s nothing if not fascinating, and working with her, she’s very unpredictable, which I like,” said Jack Nicholson, who co-starred with Keaton in Something’s Gotta Give. “She’s very disciplined about it all. She approaches a script sort of like a play in that she has the entire script memorized before you start doing the movie, which I don’t know any other actors doing that.”
Keaton was particularly fond of Keanu Reeves, her much younger co-star, in contrast to her character in the movie who falls in love with the much older boyfriend (Nicholson) of her daughter.
Recalling her on-screen kisses with Reeves, who’s 20 years younger than her, Keaton explained, “It was pretty embarrassing, and for Keanu, too. It has to do with time of life. It’s instinctive, (while kissing him) you go, ‘Uh, probably not!’” The charming actor continued, “And Keanu was going, ‘Definitely not!’ He was trying to be polite. But he’s so beautiful, it’s stupefying. It was a guilty pleasure. A very guilty pleasure.”
Rumours of their off-screen romance have not been substantiated by either actor.
eaton is a champion of natural ageing and is proud of her silvery mane and appearance as a woman in her late 70s. She leads with a great deal of humility.
“I tell myself I’m free to do whatever the hell I want with my body. Why not? I may be a caricature of my former self; I’m still wearing wide-belted plaid coats, horn-rimmed glasses, and turtlenecks in the summertime. So what? Nobody cares but me,” she said in an interview with the Daily Beast. “I don’t see anything wrong with face-lifts or Botox or fillers. They just erase the hidden battle scars. I intend to wear mine, sort of.”
Even though she is a well-respected actor, playwright, director, and singer in Hollywood, she is not exempt from unwarranted criticism from the general public.
After she attended the Golden Globes in 2014, a Twitter user called out Diane Keaton, writing, “Wow. Diane Keaton got fat.” Another critic recently stated, “Well Diane Keaton isn’t nice, she ugly inside and out!” without any apparent cause.
It’s important to recognise that the stunning actress, who has an outstanding slender frame, is recovering from a destructive relationship she has with food.
Appearing on the Dr. Oz Show, Keaton revealed, “It was horrible. It was, of course, the lowest point of my life…I was a fat person, I was an obese person, who had somehow tricked myself and managed to hide it. So when you’re living with a lie for four years…” Explaining her battle with bulimia, she continued, “All I did was feed my hunger, so I am an addict. It’s true. I’m an addict in recovery, I’ll always be an addict. I have an addictive nature to me.”
She was teased into taking the lead in Hair in exchange for losing 10 pounds, which set off her insecurities right away. At the conclusion of Act 1, the players who agreed to disrobe would get an additional $50 from the production. Keaton objected.
She ate a lot to cope with the stress. She then let all she had eaten out of her stomach by throwing up.
Every dinner she would have 20,000 calories in the form of “a bucket of fried chicken, several orders of fries with blue cheese and ketchup, a couple of TV dinners, a quart of soda, pounds of candy, a whole cake, and three banana cream pies.”
She visited a therapist five times per week for a year after realising she had a problem to treat her binge eating disorder.
“Now it’s (addiction) work orientated or trying to raise my children as best I can, even though they’re…not really children anymore,” said Keaton, of her adopted children.
At the 2017 American Film Awards dinner, where Keaton received a Lifetime Achievement Award, Woody Allen made fun of his multi-talented buddy by joking about the eating disorder she concealed from him while they were together.
“I didn’t know many things until I read her books,” Allen joked. “I didn’t know she was bulimic… I would be taking her to these high-end restaurants. $400 for dinner. If I knew she was throwing them up, I could have taken her to Pizza Hut.”
Even though the star-studded audience laughed, Keaton’s bulimia was a very serious issue to her.
Insisting that she didn’t lose the weight to meet the demands of the Hair producers, Keaton said she continued to keep the weight off and “became a master at hiding. Hiding any evidence–how do you make sure no one knows? You live a lifestyle that is very strange. You’re living a lie.”
She adds, “People were nice enough, but I felt like an outsider,” she says. “I had a problem–it was sick and creepy. Bulimia takes a lot of time out of your day.”
The star of rom-com royalty, who has never been married, loves being a mother. Duke Keaton, 23, and Dexter Keaton White, 27, are Keaton’s children, both of whom she adopted while she was in her fifties.
“I didn’t think that I was ever going to be prepared to be a mother. Motherhood was not an urge I couldn’t resist, (and) it was more like a thought I’d been thinking for a very long time. So I plunged in,” she said.
In addition, Keaton built her own brick mansion in the manner of a farmhouse to live in while juggling her demanding filming schedule. Keaton’s rustic-chic home was inspired by her infatuation with Pinterest and her love of the “Three Little Pigs,” and she details the design and construction process in her book, “The House that Pinterest Built.”
According to est, an architectural design magazine, Keaton’s home is a “fireproof, earth resistant, water resistant, walled-in compound,” and “built of 75,000 handpicked clay bricks.”
“The actress recalls being read the “Three Little Pigs” and at age five, knew she was going to live in a brick house ‘when she grew up,’” the magazine reports. “While there’s many of us who can relate to pouring over Pinterest, there’s not a lot who can say their entire home was assembled by a collection of its image. But then again–we’re not Diane Keaton…This unique detail is a rare feat–and certainly hard to beat.”
The attractive Diane Keaton has a diverse range of skills in her portfolio, which is always expanding, including acting, singing, writing, directing, being a mother, and designing.
She is a truly remarkable person, and we greatly value her candour in talking about her eating condition. We wish Keaton the best of luck as she continues her quest because the mirror can be our worst critic.

Last year, Jake and Mary Jacobs celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary, marking a significant milestone in their journey together. Their enduring love story has triumphed over numerous challenges.
Mary, a white woman, and Jake, a black man, met in 1940s Britain, a time when interracial relationships were rare and often frowned upon. Despite living in a city, Jake was one of the few black men around.
It would have been easy for Mary to walk away, but she was deeply in love and determined to be with Jake, even after her father warned her against it.
“When I told my father I was going to marry Jake, he said, ‘If you marry that man, you will never set foot in this house again.’”
The couple met when Jake came over from Trinidad during the war. They attended the same technical college, where Mary was taking typing and shorthand lessons, and Jake was training with the Air Force.
Mary, who lived in Lancashire, and Jake began chatting, and she was impressed by his knowledge of Shakespeare. Jake and his friend invited Mary and her friend for a picnic, where they were seen by a lady who reported Mary to her father. Shocked, her father banned her from seeing Jake.
When Jake returned to Trinidad, they continued to write to each other. A few years later, he came back to the U.K. for better job opportunities and surprised Mary with a marriage proposal. She was 19 and accepted, but her family disapproved and threw her out.
“I left with only one small suitcase to my name. No family came to our registry office wedding in 1948.”
Mary said that while her father was horrified at the idea of her marrying a black man, she didn’t realize the rest of society felt the same way.
“The first years of our marriage in Birmingham were hell — I cried every day and barely ate. No one would speak to us, we couldn’t find anywhere to live because no one would rent to a black man, and we had no money.”
Even walking down the street together was difficult as people would point at them. Mary told the Daily Mail how challenging those early days were.
Mary became pregnant, and they looked forward to becoming parents, but at eight months, she gave birth to a stillborn child.
“It wasn’t related to the stress I was under, but it broke my heart, and we never had any more children,” she said.
Life improved as Mary worked her way up to assistant principal of a British school, and Jake secured a job with the Post Office. They made new friends, but Mary often felt the need to explain Jake’s race before introducing him to others.
“My father died when I was 30. Although we reconciled, he never approved of Jake,” she said.
Today, 84-year-old Mary and 89-year-old Jake live in Solihull, just south of Birmingham, and recently celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary.
Jake, reflecting on the past, says he has no regrets but tells young black people today that they can’t imagine what it was like for him in 1940s Britain.
‘Subjected to abuse every day’ “When I arrived in the U.K., I was subjected to abuse every day. Once, on a bus, a man rubbed his hands on my neck and said, ‘I wanted to see if the dirt would come off.’
“And back then, you couldn’t work in an office — because a black man in an office with all the white girls wasn’t considered safe.”
Despite all the hardships, prejudice, and abuse, the couple remains deeply in love and has no regrets about their marriage, enjoying over 70 years of wedded bliss.
The 65-year-old Golden Globe winner was recently pictured in West Hollywood with a lengthy, jagged mark on her cheek. Melanie has not addressed the rumors, but according to a source familiar with the situation, “People close to her are concerned that she experienced a recurrence of the skin cancer that necessitated further surgery because she has a history of dealing with the disease. “.
The seasoned actress, best known for her work in Working Girl, has undergone numerous skin cancer surgeries since 2009. Prior to the procedure to remove a potentially cancerous growth, she was also pictured five years ago with a bandage covering her nose.
Dr. Gabe Mirkin of Florida, who hasn’t actually treated Melanie but has commented on her case, said that it’s “overwhelmingly likely” that Melanie had this kind of surgery because she had skin cancer.
He clarified that the majority of cases—95%—involve basal cell skin cancers, the most prevalent and typically curable variety of the disease. A surgeon can easily remove the condition when it is still in the early stages of the illness, and the growths are only visible on the surface.
Mirkin cautioned, however, that “additional surgery is necessary when the skin cancer is located around the ears, nose, eyes, or mouth because the disease has the potential to penetrate beneath the skin. “.
The standard practice is to keep making incisions until there are no more skin cancer cases in the specimens that have been collected. This was a rather drawn-out operation as a result,” he explained his situation.
The doctor explained, “If this were squamous cell carcinoma, a different and less frequent type of cancer, you could keep cutting until you have perfectly normal skin 360 degrees around it. The rarity of squamous cell carcinomas is to blame for this. “.
The ultraviolet rays from the sun should be avoided, according to previous advice from Melanie.
If you spend a lot of time in the sun, exercise extreme caution. Use sunscreen. Schedule a consultation with your dermatologist as soon as you can. “.
The current age of Melanie is only 65. The actress Dakota Johnson, 33, and singer Stella Banderas are two of her daughters. Her son, Alexander Bauer, 37, is the other child in the family.
