This fall, Isabella Kalua's parents reported their 6 year old adopted daughter missing. After an 8 week search, an arrest was made suddenly. On November 10th, the very people who reported her missing were charged with second degree murder. With much of this case still unfolding, we'll try to give you the most up to date information. Unfortunately, there's still much we don't know about how Isabella went missing and the allegations against those who promised to care for her. As a warning, this case includes a graphic description of abuse of a child.
