<p>Allentown Assistant Police Chief Gail Struss says his department was advised of Yu&#8217;s disappearance in case she tries to return to the city.<br />
Yu was found in Mexico with Kevin Esterly, 45, after her first disappearance on March 17. Federal agents found them in the resort area of Playa del Carmen.<br />
Yu was brought back to Pennsylvania, and taken to St. Luke&#8217;s hospital after the ordeal, while Esterly was arrested on child custody interference and corruption of minors charges. He remains in Lehigh County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bail.<br />
Mexican authorities had issued an Amber Alert for Yu after she and Easterly vanished on March 5.</p>

Mexican federal police found the pair </strong><strong>on March 17 in the Mexican resort town of Playa del Carmen </strong></h6>
</div>
<p> ;</p>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Police say she went willingly with Esterly, who had posed as her stepfather and repeatedly signed her out of school.<br />
Yu&#8217;s family previously said the two met at church years ago, as Amy is friends with one of Esterly&#8217;s four daughters.<br />
Esterly and Yu had gotten so close she often went on his family&#8217;s vacations and the older man had often come to her home for meals, her mother Mia Luu said.<br />
Yu changed school documents to list the older man as her step-father, and he signed her out of school 10 times between November 13 and February 9, police said.<br />
Her mother discovered the deception when she came to get the girl from school on February 9 and found that Esterly had already signed her out. The furious mom warned him to stay away from the teen.<br />
Before fleeing town with the girl, Esterly withdrew $4,000 from his joint bank accounts with wife Stacey.<br />
Luu discovered after her daughter vanished on March 5 that she had taken some of jewelry, her passport and cash.<br />
When the pair disappeared, police were immediately suspicious. A warrant for Esterly&#8217;s arrest was issued on March 7.</p>

<div>When they were tracked down, Yu was returned to Pennsylvania and reunited with her family.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Esterly was transported by US Marshals to Miami. He was later extradited to Pennsylvania.<br />
Esterly had reportedly been trying to call his wife Stacy &#8211; who refused all of his calls, her attorney told <a class="class" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kevin-esterly-wife-not-returning-calls-jail-police-mexico-amy-yu/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">CBS News</a>.<br />
&#8216;Stacey is happy that Amy is home and that Kevin is in custody,&#8217; attorney John Waldron said in a statement.<br />
Under Pennsylvania law, a person commits the crime of interference with the custody of a child if they knowingly take a child under the age of 18 away from their legal parent or guardian.</p>
<h6 class="mol-para-with-font"><img class="alignnone wp-image-296627" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Stacy-and-Kevin-Easterly-1.png" alt="Stacy and Kevin Easterly 1.png" width="666" height="419" /><br />
<strong>Stacey Esterly [left], is planning on divorcing her pedophile husband Kevin Esterly, [right] who is facing prosecution after his Mexican junket with Amy Yu</strong></h6>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Esterly&#8217;s wife Stacey told cops he took $4,000 from their accounts before fleeing.<br />
However, if the child is at least 14 years old and goes with the person willingly, and the defendant had no intention of committing a criminal act with the child, that could lead to acquittal, Joachim said.<br />
Since the age of consent is 16 in Pennsylvania and 12 in Mexico, sexual acts between the two wouldn&#8217;t necessarily be criminal.<br />
However, if Esterly gave the girl alcohol that could open up additional charges of corrupting the morals of a minor or endangering the welfare of a child, experts said.<br />
While Esterly is behind bars, his wife Stacey is working full time to support their four daughters.<br />
&#8216;She is committed to making every effort to see her children through this situation as best as possible and maintain a sense of stability for them,&#8217; her attorney said.<br />
She has also announced she is filing for divorce.</p>
