  • Ex-Boyfriend and Family Members Arrested for Allegedly Assaulting Pregnant Woman and Kidnapping Her 8-Month-Old Baby

    Ex-Boyfriend and Family Members Arrested for Allegedly Assaulting Pregnant Woman and Kidnapping Her 8-Month-Old Baby

    Three individuals have been charged following an incident in Overland Park, Kansas, where a pregnant woman was allegedly assaulted and her child abducted. On April 12, police responded to a report of a kidnapping at Oak Park Mall, as confirmed by FOX4.

    The pregnant victim reported that her ex-boyfriend and his relatives physically assaulted her. During the confrontation, her ex-boyfriend allegedly took her cell phone and took her 8-month-old child, according to investigators. Court documents also indicate that the child was taken across state lines. “The child was taken outside the state without the consent of either the person having custody or the court,” a complaint filed on April 13 says.

    The victim stated that her ex-boyfriend is not the child’s father and does not have any parental rights to take the child. Overland Park police reached out to Kansas City police, who assisted in locating the suspects and the child. They were all found at a residence in Kansas City. Fortunately, the child was found safe and taken to a local hospital for evaluation. All three suspects were arrested.

    Naryah Britton and Connie Young have been charged with kidnapping, battery, and aggravated interference with parental custody. Navon Britton faces the same charges, along with an additional charge of domestic battery. Each of them is being held on a $50,000 bond.

  • California Man on Bond for Attempted Murder Faces Kidnapping Charges for Abducting 89-Year-Old Woman in South Carolina

    California Man on Bond for Attempted Murder Faces Kidnapping Charges for Abducting 89-Year-Old Woman in South Carolina

    A California man, who was out on bond for attempted murder, has been arrested for kidnapping and assaulting an elderly woman in South Carolina after she stopped financially supporting him, as reported by Fox News. 

    Enver Marius Zueros, 34, was taken into custody on Monday and faces charges of first-degree burglary, kidnapping, and attempted murder in connection with the extortion of an 89-year-old woman. Authorities revealed that the woman was discovered on Sunday, left for dead with her wrists bound by duct tape, a dog leash around her ankles, and a bag over her head. 

    Police believe Zueros, who reportedly cross-dresses on social media, had a distant online relationship with the victim’s brother. The woman maintained contact with him through text and email while providing financial help. According to investigators, Zueros, a resident of Mission Viejo, California, became frustrated when she started donating to charities instead of sending him money. 

    To target her, he allegedly rented an Airbnb in the vicinity. When Zueros was in the woman’s house a retired law enforcement neighbor grew suspicious and rang the doorbell. He gave them a fake name and said that the victim had been hospitalized due to a fall in the shower. The neighbor, still feeling uneasy, went back to his home to retrieve a firearm, according to police. Zueros then fled the scene in the woman’s vehicle. 

    Authorities later located the car and discovered the woman restrained beneath the rear folding seats in the floorboard. Zueros was apprehended shortly thereafter. The victim suffered minor injuries but is reported to be in good condition, according to Wright. Zueros is currently being held in a local jail where he was denied bond.

  • Former Housekeeper Allegedly Posed As Holiday Toy Donor To Attack and Kidnap Volunteer

    Former Housekeeper Allegedly Posed As Holiday Toy Donor To Attack and Kidnap Volunteer

    A woman volunteering for a community holiday toy drive was allegedly kidnapped and assaulted by her former housekeeper, who pretended to be a donor, per the NY Post.

    Erin Quinn was helping with the local holiday toy drive in her Southern California neighborhood when she received a text from an unknown number. The message claimed to be from an elderly woman wanting to donate gifts, as reported by KTLA. Quinn agreed to meet, and the con artist, who identified herself as Connie, provided an address for the donation pickup.

    On Wednesday, when Quinn arrived at the specified location and approached the house, she received another message stating that someone would bring the toys to her car. However, upon returning to her vehicle, someone was already inside waiting for her. A woman in her backseat grabbed Quinn’s hair and shocked her with a taser, then ordered her to start driving.

    About 25 minutes into the ordeal, Quinn, who had already been tased around 30 times, crashed the vehicle. Both women exited the car and started to struggle. In her attempt to defend herself, Quinn managed to bite off part of her assailant’s finger, as reported by KTLA.

    ”I kicked her as hard as I could,”

    Quinn told the outlet.

    “She tried to put her fingers in my mouth, maybe in an attempt to rip my mouth open, and in a complete panic, I bit part of a portion of her finger off in self-defense because I didn’t know what else to do.”

    Quinn recounted that it was at that moment she realized her attacker was her former housekeeper, Olga Mendez, who was wearing a blonde wig. She managed to escape only when a bystander, whom she referred to as her

    “hero,”

    rushed to her aid. Quinn sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Local authorities have not yet made any arrests. 

    “I strongly believe that her plan was to kidnap me and take me to Mexico for either ransom or sale,”

    Quinn explained.

    “I am completely terrified. I don’t know why she would do this.”

    A GoFundMe campaign created for Quinn by a close friend has so far raised $1,890 of its $8,000 target.

  • Man Rescues 2 Babies Left In Ditch In Freezing Temperatures While Checking For Mail

    Man Rescues 2 Babies Left In Ditch In Freezing Temperatures While Checking For Mail

    An Indianapolis man went outside to check for his mail when he found two baby girls left in a ditch in freezing weather. Robert Deane saw two car seats in the ditch and heard the 4- and 5-month-old infants crying out.

    “One of them was screaming, so I immediately grabbed the car seats, brought them inside,”

    Deane told local CBS 4.

    “We got them warmed up and called 911.”

    Before Deane called for help, the Indianapolis police were already alerted about a stolen 2013 Hyundai Sonata about four miles away. The two baby girls, who are cousins, were in the back seat of that car. The police had just started looking for the car and the babies when they got Deane’s call. It’s still unknown how long the babies were left in the freezing 27-degree weather or why they were alone in the car when it was stolen.

    The Indianapolis police found the stolen car soon after. They are asking the public for help in identifying who kidnapped the babies, then left them in the cold.

  • Woman Reportedly Kidnapped Her 2 Kids After Viciously Beating Her Mother Unconscious, Police Say

    Woman Reportedly Kidnapped Her 2 Kids After Viciously Beating Her Mother Unconscious, Police Say

    A 39-year-old woman from Tennessee has been arrested on multiple felony charges for allegedly kidnapping her two biological children, per Law & Crime. She allegedly brutally attacked her mother, who is the children’s legal guardian, leaving her unconscious in the process.

    Sarah Myers was taken into custody on Thursday and faces charges including one count of child neglect for a child under 8, two counts of custodial interference, and one count of vehicle theft, all classified as felonies, as announced by authorities. Her children, 1-year-old Rico Delk and 3-month-old Elijah Delk, were located unharmed.

    On Wednesday evening, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) and the Metro Nashville Police Department issued an Endangered Child Alert for Rico and Elijah, stating that both children were

    “believed to be with their non-custodial mother, Sarah Myers.”

    Myers was reportedly traveling with the children in a 1997 cream Lincoln Town Car with Tennessee license plates.

    According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by Nashville NBC affiliate WSMV, on Wednesday, Myers drove to her mother Holly Featherman’s home in the Lincoln Town Car. Featherman is reportedly the legal custodian of both grandchildren. After arriving at her mother’s home, Myers allegedly 

    “attacked her until she was rendered unconscious,”

    before fleeing with her children. 

    Several hours later, a man requested a welfare check on Myers, who was reported to be suicidal. When authorities arrived, they found the older child alone in the Lincoln outside. Myers and Elijah were inside a nearby townhome located in the Hermitage, Tennessee area. She is currently being held on a $20,000 bond.

  • 73-Year-Old Man Who Was Kidnapped As A 6-Year-Old From A California Park Found Safe and Health

    73-Year-Old Man Who Was Kidnapped As A 6-Year-Old From A California Park Found Safe and Health

    A boy who was kidnapped over 70 years ago from a park in California has been found alive and healthy as an elderly man, reports NPR News. He was reunited with his family after his niece used DNA research to locate him, according to police. Luis Albino was just 6 years old when he was taken on February 2, 1951, from Jefferson Park Playground in Oakland

    “by an unknown female who transported him out of state and eventually to the East Coast,”

    police said in a statement. 

    Despite efforts to find him at the time, the search was unsuccessful, and the case remained unsolved for many years. Earlier this year, Albino’s niece visited the Oakland police and shared

    “that her online DNA test results matched an individual believed to be her uncle,”

    police said. Following this, FBI agents, at the request of the Oakland police, interviewed Albino at his home on the East Coast and collected a DNA sample. The results matched with two of his surviving siblings in California, confirming that Albino was indeed the boy who was kidnapped in 1951. 

    The FBI, California Department of Justice, and Oakland police worked together to arrange and cover the costs for Albino to reunite with his family on June 24 of this year.

    “It was an emotional moment for all parties involved and was a family reunion over 70 years in the making,”

    police said.

    The Oakland Police Department did not specify who they think took Albino from the park all those years ago or who raised him. Reports did not specify whether Albino was aware of his abduction due to his young age at the time. Albino’s mother, who was 92, passed away in 2005 without ever knowing what happened to her kidnapped son, according to the Bay Area News Group. 

    This summer, Albino got to meet and spend time with his brother Roger, who was with him at the park on the day he was taken in 1951. Sadly, Roger passed away in August.

    “I think he died happily,”

    63-year-old niece Alida Alequin told the outlet.

    Missouri Man Forced Ex-Girlfriend To Watch Him As He Dug Her Grave Before Murdering Her, Say Investigators

    A man from rural Missouri is charged with kidnapping and murdering his ex-girlfriend, per Fox 2 Now. He allegedly made her watch as he dug her grave. 

    The incident took place on June 20 in a wooded area on Haven of Rest Road. Authorities say that 36-year-old Tony L. Charboneau attacked his ex, Amy Hogue, during a fight, hitting and kicking her.

    They gathered shovels, tarps, a pickaxe, and a gun, putting them in the back of Charboneau’s vehicle. They then lifted Hogue, still in the wheelchair, into the vehicle. Charboneau drove to a wooded area near his home, where he and Luffy took Hogue out of the vehicle and brought her to a hill in the woods.

    Charboneau used a shovel and pickaxe to dig a shallow grave, according to the authorities. He then took Hogue out of the wheelchair and shot her in the head. Hogue was 43 years old.

    14-Year-Old Utah Girl and Her Two Cousins Who Went Missing In Mexico Found Safe, Uncle Now Faces Kidnapping Charge

    A 14-year-old Utah girl and her two young cousins that went missing in Mexico for almost two weeks, have been found safe. Authorities have charged a man in connection to their disappearance, per USA Today. 

    Elizabeth ‘Ely’ Gonzalez was visiting her grandmother in Mexico City before she disappeared on June 30, along with her 6-year-old and 4-year-old cousins.

    The girls were found with their uncle. Antonio Mereno, 31, has been accused of kidnapping.

    Alma Soreque, the mother of Gonzalez, told ABC4 that she had spoken to her daughter on the morning she went missing. Later, family members informed Soreque that Gonzalez had walked to a nearby convenience store but did not come back. The FBI believe Gonzalez was manipulated by an adult to enter a taxi. 

    It is suspected that the three missing girls and Antonio Mereno, who is also the father of her cousins, were traveling together. Family members revealed that Mereno

    “abruptly”

    traveled to Mexico City on the day the girls went missing. Three girls were recovered in Veracruz, Mexico, at around 9:30 pm local time, along with Mereno.

    Antonio Mereno will be extradited to the United States to face charges.

  • Philippine Police Officers Arrested After Allegedly Kidnapping 4 Tourists and Seeking Ransom

    Philippine Police Officers Arrested After Allegedly Kidnapping 4 Tourists and Seeking Ransom

    Four police officers in the Philippine capital have been arrested for kidnapping four foreign tourists and demanding a ransom, AP News reported. The officers stopped a luxury car carrying three Chinese and a Malaysian. With the help of armed civilians, they forcibly took the tourists into a van. 

    Two of the Chinese tourists managed to escape and alerted the authorities. The remaining captives were beaten but were released after a ransom of 2.5 million pesos ($43,100) was paid. The arrest of the police officers, including a police major, was made possible through information provided by the freed tourists and security camera footage. 

    The footage showed the kidnappers, one of whom appeared to be a police officer, stopping a car and forcibly removing the passengers in front of other motorists.

    “I was shocked that policemen were the ones involved,”

    Abalos said in a news conference.

    “This incident is a serious breach of public trust and core values of the police force.”

    Police are searching for at least 10 additional suspects who were involved in the kidnapping but were not law enforcement. The police have filed criminal complaints against the suspects for kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery. Former President Rodrigo Duterte had previously criticized many members of the national police force, which consists of over 230,000 officers nationwide, describing them as

    “rotten to the core.”
