(CNN) – The Clermont, Florida Police Department announced Monday that a mother was reunited with her daughter, who was just six years old when she was abducted from her home in 2007.
According to a press release, the Clermont Police Detective Division said it received a call on Sept. 2 from Angelica Vences-Salgado, who told authorities she had been contacted by her daughter, Jacqueline. Hernández, on social media.
Hernandez told her mother she was in Mexico and asked him to meet her at The Point of Entry in Laredo, Texas on Sept. 10, police said.
CPD coordinated with state and federal agencies prior to the meeting “to intercept the victim and determine whether the woman’s identity was the victim in this case.”
On September 10, U.S. National Security, Customs, and Border Protection Investigation authorities and the Laredo Police Department intercepted the couple at the Laredo border.
“Based on the documentation provided to these agencies by Angelica and the Clermont Police Department, they determined that the woman was Jacqueline Hernandez, who was abducted from her mother in 2007,” the statement says.
Hernandez, now 19, reunited with his mother.
CPD said this case was an “excellent example” of what can happen when several agencies cooperate. Together, the teams “were able to create a force multiplier and help reunite the victim with his mother after 14 years,” CPD chief Charles Broadway said in a statement.
