Ashley Keller Found Safe, Boyfriend Arrested in Chicago

Ashley Keller's parents told Patch Wednesday night that the 21-year-old Warrington resident has been found. She had been missing for nearly two weeks.

This story was originally posted Wednesday around 10 p.m. but has been updated to include additional information.

Ashley Keller, the missing woman from Warrington, has been found, according to her parents.
 
Her boyfriend, Romulo Perez-Catalan, 21, was arrested in Chicago by the FBI, her parents Dan and Kim Keller told Patch in an email.  "Ashley is safe and we are waiting on details of where FBI found them and how to get her home," the email said.

Keller, 21, was missing since July 4.  

"Thank you to everyone from the bottom of our hearts for all your love, support, prayers and sharing our message across the country," Keller's mother posted on Facebook.

Authorities say she was with Perez-Catalan and may have been taken against her will.

Warminster Township Police said Perez-Catalan will be held in Federal custody pending extradition by the Bucks County District Attorney's Office. He is facing burglary and related charges in connection with a burglary of a convenience store earlier this month in Warminster.

"The Warminster Township Police would like to thank the various media outlets, the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the numerous Illinois state and local law enforcement officers for their assistance and effort in the safe recovery of Keller and apprehension of Perez-Catalan," a press release from the police said.

Authorities announced Wednesday that the FBI had obtained a federal flight from prosecution warrant for Perez-Catalan.
