Jeffrey Chao Arrested After Daughter Found Safe

Jeffrey Chao has been arrested on suspicion of child abduction, conspiracy, and fabricating a police report following the disappearance of his 15-year-old daughter, Alison Jillian Chao, who went missing on July 16th. Alison was found safe a week later outside the ABC7 TV studio in Glendale, California, where she claimed she wanted to 'tell her story' due to feeling unheard. Surveillance footage and a community search played crucial roles in locating her. The incident occurred amidst a custody battle between her parents, with her mother, Annie Chao, recently granted temporary physical custody. Alison is now under the care of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. The Monterey Park Police Department continues to investigate the case, maintaining their commitment to community safety.
