Missing 2 year old Castaic girl found safe

By Jeff Wilson

Shae Rebel, missing since Thanksgiving from her home in Castaic, was found in the custody of her father in Louisiana according to Perry Smith:

The little girl, Shae Rebel, was located (Wednesday) afternoon in Mansfield, La.,” said Detective Dave Campbell of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s Detective Bureau.Missing Castaic child Shae Rebel

“The girl is safe,” Campbell said, adding that the child was in the custody of Louisiana’s Department of Children & Family Services as of this morning. “The mom’s elated. She’s flying out today to get her child.”

Campbell was found after Shae Rebel’s father, Jesse Rebel, was pulled over while driving in Louisiana

When this was first reported just a couple of weeks ago, we marveled at out a 2 year old girl could go missing for so long without the entire community becoming aware and likely volunteering to help find her. 

But as some thought then, this was a parent vs parent case, with dad apparently travelling across the country with his daughter. 

Thank goodness she was found safe.

    Its rare to have a happy ending to a story like this. Glad to hear she is safe and will soon be home with her mom

    Definitely glad it didn't turn out worse also, these stories always end up so horribly
