WV WV - Aliayah Lunsford, 3, Lewis Co., 24 Sep 2011 - # 7

[Harken]

She was arrested for welfare fraud...not sure if anything else yet..

Thanks, SinKittyVixen. I was typing (I'm slow) as you were. Let's pray this PC is about more than the welfare fraud and that we'll have news of Aliayah!

I bet they got video from a store of someone else using her card.

They could round up a lot of people that way!

Just a quick question for me being on the west coast. If the conference is at 4, would that mean 1:00 Pacific time?

Yes.. happening in 25 minutes

Female enroute to Flatwoods (Central Regional Jail). No Id at present but would almost have to be Lena, so will be a bit before it's posted on their website.

According to the criminal complaint, Lunsford knowingly transferred a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Electronic Benefits Tranfer (EBT) card issued in her name and personal identification number issued to her to a person known by the United States Attorney.

The criminal complaint also says that individual purchased approximately $114.82 of food in exchange for $50.

What else does she exchange or barter for cash? I think this charge is just an attempt to put pressure on her to talk.

I'm on WDTV's live web cast site, but the video player just keeps buffering. I have a feeling I'll not be able to watch. Is anyone else getting this?

3 Hour time difference til we go on DST, then it's a 4 hour difference.

Im amazed that she didnt know she was being watched. I mean, I even know she was being watched, its just common sense. She mustve really needed the money! she will never be able to get welfare benefits again, i think. I dont know the rules in that state, but they can forbid you from ever getting them again.

I'm getting buffering, also. They won't go live until just before the PC.

 

[Knox]

I'm getting Let's Make a Deal right now, lol. Haven't see that show in FOREVER!!!

 

[sktrsmw]

HA...Knox,..no one got the Big Deal. I remember that show when it had Monty Hall.
My stomach is CHURNING!

 

[deelytful1]

OMG.. just blew my headphones! UGH

 

[Knox]

Woooh, did you hear that language? Guess they didn't know they were live.

 

[sktrsmw]

Knox,...all I heard was "That's what she said." HA...What did you hear?

 

[sktrsmw]

Crap,..I am "buffering" and do not have a picture or sound!!

 

[Knox]

Ok ... Judge Judy now:waitasec:

 

[deelytful1]

Oh good! I don't get Judge Judy here! LOL

What live stream is everyone watching??

 

[Knox]

Know,...all I heard was "That's what she said." HA...What did you hear?

Not repeatable :innocent:

 

[wenc]

Federal charges for the welfare fraud. Released on her own recognizance.

 

[deelytful1]

On now.. missed the beginning DARN!!!

 

[Knox]

Lena was released on her own recognizance.

This is ancillary to the Aliayah's case.

The search continues for Aliayah, multi-agencies working together.

Unsealed complaint filed today ...

We're not labeling anyone a suspect.
