A YouTube video that shows a girl tied up and pleading with her captor is being investigated by Wisconsin police who believe she might be a teen who went missing in 2009.
Kayla Berg, 15, went missing that year in August after she visited her best friend at a McDonald’s in Antigo before getting a ride from her brother’s friend to Wausau to visit her boyfriend. She was never seen again.
Two months later, a video titled, “Hi Walter! I got a new gf” appeared on YouTube, but it wasn’t until seven years later that the public became widely aware of it.
In the original video, which has since been removed from YouTube, a man is seen talking about a girl he met at the mall. The man then opens the door of what appears to be a bathroom to reveal a young woman tied up and pleading with him
"Why are you doing this?" she yells.
WARNING: This video is disturbing.
On Monday, the Antigo Police Department said they are investigating the video believed to be connected to the Berg case and are trying to identify the man in the footage.

On the night of her disappearance, Kayla didn't have a cell phone, so her whereabouts could not be tracked. And the initial investigation was hampered by the fact that she wasn't reported missing until six days later, apparently due to miscommunication between her parents.
If the girl in the video is Kayla, it would be a major break in a case that has otherwise given police little to go on.
After viewing the video, Kayla's mother, Hope Sprenger, told WAOW, “I thought it looked a lot like her. I pray to God it’s not.”

Antigo Police Chief Eric Roller told Fox News in an interview that the girl in the video had “similar characteristics” to Kayla, including her size and voice. The FBI is also investigating.
The video has also intrigued amateur sleuths online. On Monday, it was posted to Reddit's r/unsolvedmysteries subreddit, where users posted analysis on why they believe it shows Kayla.
