Aisha’s parents released a statement on the Facebook page dedicated to finding their daughter:
On behalf of the Khan family, we are ecstatic to announce that Aisha has been found. She is safe and is unharmed.
The family is truly grateful to each and every one of your support and encouragement during this difficult journey.
Thank you for your prayers, locally, nationally and from across the world. Thank you to all local and national media outlets for keeping her story alive.
And most of all, thank you to the Overland Park Police Department who have put in hundreds of hours into finding her safely and to the hundreds of volunteers who dedicated their time around the clock toward the search efforts.
Our prayers have been answered. Thank you all.
Aisha, a student at Johnson County Community College, was studying in Overland Park on the University of Kansas Edwards Campus before she vanished about 11 a.m. Friday.
She had called her sister and said she had slapped a man who had tried to kiss her. Her sister drove to the campus to pick up Khan and found her sister’s book bag and cellphone.
Family friend Aamer Trambu told the Kansas City Star:
“Our prayers have been answered. The family is very, very ecstatic about this. The fact is, she’s alive, and she’s well. We believe our prayers have been answered. Trambu said he could not answer questions about how Khan was found. We do not have enough information yet, and we cannot tell you anymore.”
Happy to see Aisha is back and safe with her family!
