Girl missing for 12 years, rescued in Mexico

Sabrina Allen, an Austin, Texas girl who was abducted at age 5 in 2002, has been found in a secret rescue mission and returned to the U.S. according to Texas media reports.

Sabrina, now 17, has been yet been reunited with her father, Greg Allen. KTBC-TV in Austin reports.
Dara Llorens, the alleged abductor and Allen's estranged former wife, is in custody, according to the TV station.
KXAN TV, which also reported Allen's rescue, says Llorens is being held in the Travis County Jail in lieu of $300,000 bond.
The FBI and Austin police were expected to hold a news conference on the case Wednesday afternoon.
Sabrina and Llorens were returned to the U.S. on a commercial flight Tuesday evening, KTBC reports.
One person was injured during the rescue mission southeast of Mexico City that involved operatives with a Beaumont-based child rescue team, the FBI, U.S.Marshal service and Mexican authorities, according to Fox7.

Court documents obtained by KXAN show that Llorens took Sabrina during an unsupervised visit following her divorce from Sabrina's father. Llorens fled to Mexico after a judge ordered her to turn over her daughter by 6 p.m. on April 21, 2002.
Llorens eluded capture by changing her and Sabrina's hair color, according to the reports.
