Tanya Kach was 14 years old when she disappeared a decade ago.

Right now she is with her father, who she is seeing for the first time since 1996.

Kach was found only a few miles from where she disappeared in McKeesport.

She said a school security guard, 47-year-old Thomas Hose, held her captive and brainwashed her into staying.

Kach said, “I didn't want be on the streets and I thought that's where I’d be. I didn't think I had a home. That was my home. That was my life.”

Kach's father said he never gave up hope of finding her.
