An Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney Will Take All Steps Necessary to Neutralize Any Prejudice a Criminal Defendant Faces in the Press While Diligently Defending Against Serious Charges
A report filed by Elizabeth Espinosa for KTLA.com details the incredible story of a 29-year-old girl who was recently found after being kidnapped and held captive for 18 years. The girl was abducted nearly two decades earlier from a school bus stop in South Lake Tahoe, the crime being witnessed by her step-father. All this time, the girl was thought to be dead by both her parents and loved ones.
Authorities say that the 29-year-old women walked into a police station in Concord and told investigators that she was the girl who had been kidnapped 18 years earlier.
As investigators continue to explore the facts surrounding this case, they continue to uncover more unbelievable facts. According to a USA Today report, the kidnapped girl was kept in a shed in an Antioch backyard and bore 2 children by the suspect. The girl was kept isolated from the world and forced to live in a shed, tents and outbuildings.
The Antioch man is being held on $1 million bail for charges of kidnapping, rape by force, lewd and lascivious acts with a minor and sexual penetration. The man’s second wife is also being held on $1 million bail, charged with conspiracy and kidnapping.
