BEMIDJI -- A 5-year-old Bemidji girl police say was kidnapped has been reunited with her family and was doing well Friday, her father said.

Brittany Balcer, 5, of Bemidji, was reported missing Wednesday after an overnight fire destroyed the trailer home of a family friend with whom she was staying. The child was found early Thursday morning and returned to her family that evening, her father Scott Balcer said.

“We are very grateful to have her back home; we are still in shock and have a lot of mixed emotions over what had happened,” Balcer said Friday via Facebook message. “We are so amazed with our community, with the support and all who helped, working extensive hours to help bring her home safe.”
