A foreign exchange student from China who was reported missing last week in Utah has been found in what authorities said was an apparent “cyber kidnapping” scheme to extort US$80,000 from the student’s family.
The 17-year-old student was reported missing Friday, a day after he was last seen at the home where he had been staying in Riverdale, about 48km (30 miles) from Salt Lake City.
