A Mississippi couple at the center of a manhunt that began in 2009 have been caught in Oregon.
Ramon and Janet Barreto were apprehended in Portland, Oregon, on Wednesday. The couple was on the U.S. Marshals Service's list of top 15 most wanted fugitives. They are being held in an Oregon jail.
The Barretos are accused of illegally adopting children from Guatemala and torturing them. They were arrested in 2008 after a 2-year-old girl they adopted died.
After the 2-year-old was killed, eight other adopted children were found living in the roach and feces infested home. Federal agents say the children were duct taped to their beds, punched in the stomach, and their heads were forced underwater.
“Janet Barreto is a malicious individual who allegedly abused innocent children on multiple occasions and forced them to live in appalling conditions,” William D. Snelson, U.S. Marshals Service Assistant Director for Investigative Operations, said in a 2013 statement. “Through her alleged crimes, Barreto demonstrated a blatant disregard and lack of respect for life other than her own. Adopting children and bringing them to the United States only to abuse and neglect them is a horrific crime."
Following their 2008 arrest, the couple fled after being released on $450,000 bond. Investigators began pursuing them in 2009.
I am sorry for ALL of Hansen's victims, and can't help to wonder what happened to Hansen's family?
ReplyDeleteHow can you interpret that quote in such an illogical way? You would have to be extremely stupid if you think the author of this article was inferring there are no serial killers today. I mean, that's insane! The reason it's somewhat easier to track down serial killers today? It's called DNA profiling, dear. When that horrible Hansen was murdering his victims, there was no DNA profiling. DNA profiling didn't begin until 1985 - in England. Nowadays, DNA profiling does make it somewhat easier to identify killers.
ReplyDeleteVery nice blog - keep up the excellent work. (Thankfully, Hansen died earlier this month.)
ReplyDeleteGreat blog buddy, I have added your site to our links section on http://www.realhorrorstories.com Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteYou stole this word-for-word from a book....

ReplyDeleteTO an extent the supporters fell into the same trap as the townspeople focusing on the obvious guy while the true monster quietly hid
ReplyDeleteA very fair and accurate review, if out of date. Jessie's confessions never made sense (david perry davis did an analysis of his final confession; it was as ridiculous as you can imagine). The evidence against Hobbs is far stronger (he actually ADMITTED to attempting to rape his neighbor and his alibi was far weaker in that his friend contradicts him.)
ReplyDeleteThis fruitcake looks like the kind of wacko nutjob who'd hack up his gook boyfriend!
ReplyDeleteFags killing Fags, it's almost hilarious seeing how they will all die from aids anyway!
Faggy dork was too gutless to be a man and do the right thing and walk away from that entire situation, he was led by the little head and was pussy whipped like a turd! and now some single whore pig who isn't worth shit is dead and someone has to give a shit, all because the daughter didn't like whore mommy's rules or 'tude!
ReplyDeleteThe little 14 year old slut shouldn't have been anywhere near a 19 year old! That is just the typical kinda shit from a fatherless whore house where there isn't any positive male to dole out the discipline and teach the kids some class!
cool
ReplyDeleteIt drives me nuts that these people bring so much hurt and destruction to people's lives and the community, then take the coward way out and kill themselves taking all the answers with them. I heard a podcast episode on Keyes a few months ago; his personality and methods on all that he did, how he calmly talked about everything is really a scary thought. Some "could be my quiet neighbor next door" type scary
