A&nbsp; criminal complaint filed by the FBI in a federal court in Vermont&nbsp; alleges that the Amish Mennonite pastor aided in the &quot;international&nbsp; parental kidnapping&quot; of Isabella Miller Jenkins, the daughter of the&nbsp; former lesbian couple Lisa Miller and Janet Jenkins. Isabella is now 9. &nbsp;Timothy Miller, who is no relation to Lisa Miller, appeared in court&nbsp; Monday and posted a $25,000 bond and is now in the custody of a friend. &nbsp;Court documents claim that Timothy Miller, 34, left a computer trail&nbsp; that shows family members as well as friends and associates were&nbsp; discussing&nbsp; Lisa Miller's flight to Nicaragua on emails both before and&nbsp; after she disappeared nearly two years ago. &nbsp;The trail shows that Rev. Miller's mother-in-law's credit card was used&nbsp; to purchase plane tickets for the missing mother and daughter who flew&nbsp; from Toronto to Mexico to El Salvador and then to Managua, Nicaragua.&nbsp; Timothy Miller and his wife, Joanna, have served as missionaries in&nbsp; Nicaragua, according to court documents. &nbsp;Timothy Miller's parents wrote so freely about Lisa Miller's intention&nbsp; to flee with the child that Timothy Miller told his parents to stop&nbsp;
