Ex-lesbian Lisa Miller kidnapped daughter Isabella from her partner Janet Jenkins
An ‘ex-lesbian’ woman who kidnapped her seven-year-old daughter amid a custody dispute with her ex-partner has been arrested after 12 years on the run.
It has emerged that Lisa Miller turned herself in at the US embassy in Nicaragua in January, and faces charges of international parental kidnapping and conspiracy.
Miller, who renounced her identity as a lesbian when she became an evangelical Christian in 2004, took her daughter and vanished in 2009 after a long-running custody dispute with former civil partner Janet Jenkins.
In 2014, Miller was indicted in her absence on charges of international parental kidnapping and conspiracy, while three men – Amish Mennonite pastor Kenneth Miller, missionary Timothy Miller and businessman Phillip Zodhiates – were found guilty of aiding the kidnapping.

More than 12 years after she kidnapped the daughter she shared with her former partner, Janet Jenkins, and ran away to Nicaragua to avoid handing over custody to Jenkins as mandated by the courts, Lisa Miller is back in the U.S., in custody and facing charges of international parental kidnapping and conspiracy.
