Megan Everett, 23, was captured and her 3-year-old daughter Lilly was found safe in Palatka, Fla.

Lilly was reported missing May 2014, when she was 2, after Everett failed to return the girl to her father, Robert Baumann, who has joint custody.

According to the Sun Sentinel, Everett left a note for her boyfriend Carlos Lesters saying that she feared her daughter would be vaccinated.

"You are a great dad," Everett wrote, according to the paper. "If I let them take her and vaccinate her and brainwash her, I wouldn't be doing what's right. I cannot let a judge tell me how my daughter should be raised. We will miss you. But I had to leave."
