Issouf was the victim of a kidnapping back in 2001 when she was only 5 years old, sources said.

She was taken from her front yard by a 17-year-old perp who pleaded guilty to unlawful imprisonment in 2002 in exchange for long-term psychiatric care.

Other “Green Goblin” suspects have not been identified.

The investigation continues as cops search for Issouf’s alleged accomplices.
