Kidnapped girl resurfaces after 18 years.

The police should have gotten a search warrant back when they were told of
children in the back yard. He was a registered sex offender so the police had
probable cause to get a warrant. They were just to lazy to do their job. Where
were the children when the parole officers visited.

There is a picture of the backyard on sacbee.com, I know you have to register there to get the articles but the picture shows how horrid there living conditions were.

The reports I read said the wife was with him when the girl was kidnapped.

I know she's as guilty as he is. I had no idea his mother lived there too.

I guess what I really wonder is whether or not the wife was so scared of him she kept her mouth shut. Was she the type to just sit back and take orders from this creep or was she into this perversion along with him? In her mug shot, she looks terrified. I hope they hang both of them.

I can't help but wonder, everytime something like this happens, how many more people are there like this living in this country right now? Nobody knows anything about them.

Can you imagine the pain and horror that poor girl went through giving birth alone and with this pervert probably delivering it? I shudder just thinking about it. Those squallid living conditions, who knows what she might have had to endure afterwards. As for the wife being too frightened I don't buy that, she could have gone to a neighbour during the night or anytime he was gone out. She's as guilty as him and deserves the same as he gets...death penalty is too easy, let them rot in a hole somewhere the way that girl and her kids did. I think the police messed up big time on this one. And the neighbour who told his wife to mind her own business is partly to blame, had she had his support to check things out those kids might have been freed a long time ago.
I can't see the girl or those kids ever adapting to a normal life and I hope they get the full support they need and deserve. Hard to believe in this day and age that we still let innocent people fall through the cracks........

I think you probably would really be disturbed if you knew how many cases of similar MO's as this case or of serial killers are out there right now. We have a Jeffrey Dahmer in training right here in our midst named Micheal Vick. The numbers of cases would be frightening.

This is so true. Many of these cases over the years have followed the same MO. Hiding the girls in basements, buildings, etc. It's scary. These are the kinds of things that we hope we never hear.

Asiel: Wow, you're right. He must have delivered the babies. Maybe it was his worthless wife. I don't buy her being afraid either. She could have done something about her perverted husband. 18 years is a long time. I know there had to be a break in there somewhere for her to notify someone that could help her.
