Gabrielle Nicole Dahm was 1 year old when she was taken from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on August 2, 2010. The disappearance is classified as a family abduction: Gabrielle’s non-custodial mother, Leslie Sheila Delbecq, did not return her after a court-ordered visit. Gabrielle’s parents had finalized their divorce two months earlier with an agreement that neither parent could take her out of the country without consent.

Investigators say Delbecq obtained a Belgian passport for Gabrielle without the father’s knowledge and left on one-way tickets to the United Arab Emirates, traveling via Brussels, where Delbecq holds dual citizenship. Gabrielle’s father, Christopher Dahm, was later awarded full custody in the U.S. Federal warrants for international parental kidnapping were issued in 2011 for Leslie Delbecq and her mother, Jeanine De Riddere. The family is believed to be in Abu Dhabi, where Philippe Delbecq reportedly worked as a chief training pilot.

No successful return efforts are reported. Does anyone have information about Gabrielle’s whereabouts or contacts in the UAE that could help locate her?
