As though this wasn't horrific enough, this woman has reportedly been involved in this sort of thing for a long time:
This psycho was previously convicted of murdering her sister's boyfriend by locking him in a closet and starving him to death. Unfortunately, she only did 8 years for that murder. Furthermore, there are probably many more victims of this woman as she was found in the possession of documents and ID's for 50 people and the police have already taken 12 other children and young adults linked to this woman into protective custody.(CBS/AP) PHILADELPHIA - The brothers and sisters of Linda Ann Weston, the reported ringleader of the group who allegedly kept four mentally incapacitated adults captive in a basement in northeast Philadelphia, claim she forced them into incest and prostitution, according to a report.
Their mother died when they were little children and soon Weston took over the household. Her siblings told local station WPVI she would violently force family members to have sex with one another so they could have babies and collect government checks.
One of Weston's sisters said when she was 11 years old Weston forced her to go and prostitute herself, reports the station.
A brother of Weston told the station she would often kidnap their relatives and move them from place to place. He also claimed that she preyed on the mentally challenged. This is consistent with what police say she did in the case of making four mentally challenged adults captive to a small basement. She allegedly held them captive just so she could collect their Social Security checks.
Weston and her accomplices Gregory Thomas and Eddie Wright were arrested Saturday night for their involvement in the alleged kidnapping and are facing charges of criminal conspiracy, aggravated assault, kidnapping, criminal trespass, unlawful restraint, false imprisonment and related offenses.
Four adults -- three men and one woman -- were found locked in a room, suffering from malnutrition.
Officials say the adults, three of whom were identified as Tamara Breeden, Derwin McLemire, and Herbert Knowles, were found locked inside a room in the basement of a Philadelphia home
