15歲少女遭39歲男綁架 囚禁、性侵逾500天！靠線上遊戲逃出魔爪
美國猶他州一名少女2025年5月失蹤後，遭39歲男子Adam Harmel帶往俄勒岡州囚禁，期間受到虐待及性侵，失蹤超過500天。直到今年10月，少女利用一支可連接Wi-Fi、但沒有行動網路的手機，透過線上遊戲《Among Us》向其他玩家透露遭遇，對方家長得知後報警，聯邦調查局（FBI）終於在11月1日成功將她救出。
綜合外媒報導，少女Kylie Arellano當時年僅15歲，2025年5月透過社群平台Snapchat認識39歲男子Harmel。男子聲稱自己有影響臀部的身體障礙，並提出給她一筆錢，邀請她前往俄勒岡州。5月29日，Harmel開車前往猶他州接走少女，待她上車後，便將她的手機丟進河裡，再帶回自己位於俄勒岡州的住處。
少女被帶回後遭囚禁在地下室，與親友及外界失去聯繫。根據法庭文件，Harmel多次對她施暴及性侵犯，甚至為了避免她被認出，使用鉗子強行拔掉她的牙套。Harmel也會在枕頭下藏刀，並要求少女睡在床上靠牆的一側，以防止她逃跑。
失蹤期間，少女的母親始終沒有放棄尋找女兒，還在Facebook成立尋人社團。不過，少女曾認為警方已經停止尋找她，直到今年10月，Harmel交給她一支沒有行動網路的手機，雖然無法使用行動數據，仍可連接住處的Wi-Fi，讓她意外找到求救機會。
少女透過手機遊玩多人線上遊戲《Among Us》，並在遊戲中認識另一名年輕玩家，向對方透露自己的身分及遭囚禁的處境。得知少女遭遇後，該名玩家將消息告訴母親，母親隨即報警，FBI探員於11月1日成功找到少女並將她救出。少女獲救後，她的母親也在Facebook尋人社團公布消息。
Harmel目前已遭逮捕，面臨綁架、性侵及跨州性剝削未成年人等多項重罪指控。另據報導，Harmel在2024年10月也曾捲入一起性侵案件，一名6歲女童向父母表示，自己曾在鄰居Harmel家過夜，當時Harmel與時任妻子邀請她同床睡覺，期間遭Harmel侵犯，目前該案仍在調查中。
FOR 17 MONTHS, A TEENAGE GIRL WAS MISSING. NOW WE KNOW WHAT SHE ENDURED BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
She was held captive in an Oregon home, repeatedly assaulted, cut off from the outside world, and forced to remove her own braces with PLIERS so she would be harder to identify.
She was just 15 years old when she disappeared.
Kylie Arellano vanished from her home in Garden City, Utah, on May 29, 2025. For nearly a year and a half, her family and investigators searched for answers.
Now 17, Kylie has been found alive.
Federal investigators allege that Adam Hunter Harmel (39) met Kylie online, offered her money to travel to Oregon, and drove to Utah to pick her up.
Once in Oregon, Harmel allegedly threw her phone into a river, prevented her from leaving, and subjected her to repeated physical and sexual assaults.
But after 17 months, Kylie found a way to reach someone.
She reportedly contacted another child through an online gaming platform. That child told a parent, who contacted the FBI. Agents eventually listened in on a video call as Kylie described what had happened to her.
On November 1, 2026, authorities rescued Kylie from a home in Huntington, Oregon.
Harmel was arrested and is now facing federal charges.
Think about that. A teenager held captive for 17 months managed to find a way to get help through an online game.
And because another child spoke up, and a parent took it seriously, Kylie is finally free.
We know how investigators say she ended up in Oregon. What is difficult to comprehend is how she could be held there for 17 months without anyone discovering what was happening.
But today, the most important thing is that Kylie survived.
