Mother’s Worst Nightmare: Mysterious Intruder Leaves Family Shaken
Montclair, California – A quiet afternoon turned into a harrowing experience for 25-year-old Yena Abraham when she returned home to find her house in disarray and her sister and baby missing. What should have been a routine errand ended in fear, confusion, and a frantic search for answers.
Yena had left her one-year-old daughter, Zoya, in the care of her younger sister, Leila, for just two hours—the first time she had ever entrusted her with the responsibility. However, as she stood in line at the bank, a cryptic text from Leila sent shivers down her spine. The message read simply, “I’m baby.”

At first, Yena dismissed it as a typo, but when multiple calls to Leila went unanswered, panic set in. Abandoning her errands, she rushed home, only to find the front door wide open. The eerie silence inside heightened her anxiety as she stepped in cautiously, gripping a kitchen knife for protection. The overturned furniture and scattered belongings suggested an intrusion, yet the house was empty—except for the sound of faint rustling.
With her heart pounding, Yena moved toward the noise coming from the kitchen. She suspected the intruder was still inside. Her worst fears seemed confirmed when a shadowy figure emerged near the pantry. Bracing herself for a confrontation, Yena held her ground—only to realize the figure was none other than her teenage sister, Leila, trembling with fear.
“Yena,” Leila whispered, her voice shaky, “something terrible has happened.”
Leila, with baby Zoya in her arms, had been hiding in the wine cellar. She explained that she had heard an intruder moving around the house and, in a panic, took the baby and sought refuge underground. When the house fell silent, she didn’t know if it was safe to come out.
Though shaken, the sisters found solace in their safety. The intruder, however, had vanished without taking anything of value, raising concerns about the true motive behind the break-in. Authorities arrived shortly after Yena’s frantic call to 911, but the damage had been done. The home was violated, and their sense of security shattered.
“I was worried sick,” Yena admitted, holding her sister and daughter tightly. “But I’m just grateful we’re all okay.”
The police are currently investigating the incident, searching for clues as to who the intruder might have been and what they were looking for. Meanwhile, the Abraham family is left with an unsettling question—was this a random burglary, or were they being targeted?
Residents of Montclair are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to local authorities. This chilling ordeal serves as a stark reminder of the importance of home security and trusting one’s instincts in moments of uncertainty.
For now, Yena, Leila, and little Zoya are safe. But the terrifying experience will stay with them forever.
