The New Albany teenager, who ran away from her home because she said she feared religious persecution, has been at the center of a legal battle after fleeing to Florida.

Judge Daniel Dawson, of the 9th Judicial Circuit Court in Orlando,issued an order relinquishing the court's emergency jurisdiction and ordering the department of children and families to arrange Bary's transportation back to Ohio.

Once Bary arrives, she will placed with Franklin County Children Services.

Florida officials would not release details of Bary's transfer, citing safety concerns.

On Thursday, newly-released interview recordings provided insight into the investigation.

In August, Bary spoke with Florida investigators about why she fled Ohio.  She said she was fearful her father, a Muslim, would harm her because she converted to Christianity.

"Why did you grow up with fear?" the interviewer asked.

"My dad," Bary said.

"What did he do to make you afraid?"

"He beat me," Bary said.

Later in the interview, Bary told investigators of those alleged beatings, but also of her fear of the Islamic Church and central Ohio's Noor Islamic Cultural Center, 10TV's Brittany Westbrook reported.

She urged investigators to research the center, claiming there were ties that they needed to know about.

When asked to elaborate on the ties, Bary described them as "radical" and "extremist."

Bary claimed that people in the Islamic community learned of her conversion to Christianity through Facebook and informed her parents.  She said her father sent her a letter that forced her to run away in danger.

"What did he say, specifically?" the interviewer asked.

"I will kill you," Barry said.  "Tell me truth and I knew that he was meaning, I will kill you."

Bary said she left home and stayed with another local family before turning to a couple from the Florida church, Global Revolution.  She said the couple paid for a bus ticket and arranged for her to stay with their pastor.

Florida authorities later conducted an investigation into Bary's claims and found no credible threats against her.

Bary's father declined to comment on the case Thursday, but has previously denied ever threatening to harm his daughter.

10TV's calls to the Noor Islamic Cultural Center were not returned, but it has also previously denied Bary's claims.

Earlier this month, a Florida judge ruled that Bary would be returned to Franklin County Children Services, pending approval of her immigration papers.

The judge set Friday at noon as the deadline for that paperwork to be submitted.
