This really is a disgusting and insane story, which you have probably heard by now. The fact that the kidnappers mother is involved too is really a terrifying detail


Mother of Woman Who Was Raped and Tortured in Logan County Speaks Out - News - MSNBC.com
When police arrived, Frankie Brewster was sitting on the front porch. She told the officer that she was alone, the release said. As she was speaking with the officer, Brewster got up and started walking toward the door. That's when police say the victim "limped toward the door with her arms held out saying 'help me,'" the release said. They found the Megan Williams inside the home with stab wounds to her legs and bruised eyes, the release said. Deputies said she'd also been sexually assaulted. Family members say the nightmare began at least a week earlier. "She has a history of kinda drifting off every once in a while so I just thought she was running around town like she usually does," said Carmen Williams Authorities say Megan was being held hostage by 24-year-old Bobby Brewster and his mother, 49-year-old Frankie Brewster. Police say the Brewsters, as well as four other suspects, tortured Megan Williams for days by severely beating, stabbing and raping her. Police say they forced her to perform sex acts on multiple people. She was even made to lick up blood as well as rat and dog feces, according to court documents.

This kind of thing is sure not doing West Virginia any favors either.

The New York Times adds information about the family. IN today's article they add up the criminal charges filed against the family since 1991: 108 criminal charges. How could these people continuously be set loose after these kinds of acts, just to do worse stuff later on? Is that a dumb question?

The Brewster family and their trailer has a history of violent crime, the police said.

Mr. Brewster killed his stepfather there when he was 12, the authorities said, and served time at a juvenile correction facility.

In July 1994, Mrs. Brewster shot and killed an 84-year-old woman she was looking after, also in the trailer, according to court records.

Mrs. Brewster, who was charged with first-degree murder, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and served six years at a state correctional facility. She was paroled in 2000.

In 2005, two men got into a fight outside the trailer, the police said, ending with a fatal stabbing.

In January, the police were again called to the trailer, where they found a man who had been slashed across his abdomen; the man survived, according to court documents, and Mr. Brewster was a witness in that case.
