Kevin Esterly, a 45-year-old married man, fled to Mexico with a 16-year-old Allentown girl, the culmination of a monthslong “secretive relationship” in which police say he signed her out of her charter school several times without her mother’s permission. The two were found in Cancun on Saturday, March 17, 2018, after a nearly two-week manhunt that attracted national attention.
