A 30-year-old woman was arrested for reportedly staging her own kidnapping four times in order to extort money from her mother.
The woman allegedly texted her mother a video of herself blindfolded and splattered with blood, a kidnapping she had staged on her own.
“Mommy. They’ve kidnapped me,” the woman sobs in the video sent to her mother. “You can’t say anything to the police. If you do, they’ll kill me.” She told her mother that the kidnappers will release her for $50,000.
She also claimed that she was assaulted and denied foo
d. The girl executed the plan with the help of her boyfriend and his family.
This is not the first time that the woman tried extorting money from her mother. In the past the woman extorted at least $45,000 from her mother in three incidents.
The woman and four others were arrested on September 5 from a casino. They were discovered with the knife and fake blood from the video. All five face charges of extortion, among other offenses.
