PHILADELPHIA — A missing Florida girl has been found safe in Philadelphia in the wake of the arrest of three people who allegedly held mentally disabled adults captive in a basement.
Benita Rodriguez, 15, was reported missing from her West Palm Beach, Fla., home on July 4, NBC Philadelphia affiliate WCAU reported.
According to NBC Philadelphia, Rodriguez had last been seen with Gregory Thomas Jr., whose father was among those arrested over the weekend in connection with the basement captive case.
Linda Ann Weston, a woman convicted in the starvation death of a man nearly 20 years ago, also was arrested. She is facing charges of kidnapping and false imprisonment for allegedly preying on four mentally disabled adults, locking them in a basement in northeast and wresting control of their Social Security disability checks. A landlord found them Saturday .
Weston was charged Monday with kidnapping, false imprisonment and other offenses, with bail set at $2.5 million after her landlord stumbled upon the four adults, all weak and malnourished, in a dank, foul smelling boiler room on Saturday.
Also charged were Eddie "the Rev. Ed" Wright, who Weston says is her boyfriend, and Gregory Thomas. FULL STORY
I left a nice comment there- Link to Comment
News Flash to those who find this case egregious and intolerable-
There is a huge Organized Crime ring in the country doing exactly the same thing- Bleeding Social Security and Medicare dry by holding people captive and defrauding the Federal Funding streams.
It is Children's "Protective" Services. And no, I am not trying to be funny. They are extremely evil, and if you have kids, you would be wise to know what to do WHEN a CPS worker knocks on YOUR door.
