Moments after checking in, their eldest daughter, Aurora, disappears, leaving only her iPad behind. What follows is a frantic search across a massive mall, hotel, and casino complex, with security and friends mobilizing to help. Hours pass with growing fear and hopelessness, until a kind stranger, resembling Santa Claus, finds Aurora safe and unharmed. However, the terrifying realization that she was lured away by a stranger leaves the parents shaken forever. Despite their relief, they are haunted by the fact that luck, more than anything, saved their daughter that day.  horrorstories, reddithorrorstories, scarystories, horrorstory, creepypasta, horrortales, parentinghorror, lostchild, terrifyingordeal, protectyourkids, realnightmares, mallhorrorstory, truecrimefear, fearandhope, anxiousparents, hotelpanic, kidnappingfear, closecall, familytrauma, childhoodsafety, stressfulsituations, strangerdanger
