In 1972, four-year-old Aura Guerrero walked to her corner store in Colombia's capital Bogotá, to pick up a snack.

But she never made it home - until 52 years later. 

Guerrero recalls a 'tall woman' with 'long hair' and features she'll never forget, snatching her off the street. The kidnapper had intended to sell the child a few towns over, but dumped her in the 'middle of nowhere' instead.

But, Gilchrist reports, 'she got lucky' when a loving couple took her in and adopted her.

Fast-forward 52 years later, when Guerrero's brother recognised his kidnapped sister on a Facebook photo and reached out to her, leading to their recent reunion. 

Sadly, Guerrero's parents, who never stopped searching for their daughter all over Colombia, died a few years ago. 

Yet Guerrero remains positive, saying the reunion with her brother 'is a real dream'. 

"It's something wonderful only God can do," she told the Daily Mail

Gilchrist says it's 'extraordinary' and admirable how Guerrero finds 'positivity through this adversity'.

"It's extraordinary, just wow... after everything she's been through."
