Police are still trying to locate her kidnapper.
Searches across the city of “dozens of locations” with which the kidnapper had known connections led investigators to a site in the Al-Mushrifa district, but they moved on believing it to be empty.
Shortly after, however, Rawan's father received a telephone call from an Indonesian woman, saying she was at the site with his daughter. The woman told officers that she had been “asked to look after the child”. “Inquiries with the woman are still continuing,” said acting spokesman for Jeddah Police, Nawwaf Al-Bouq.
