US police have probed a growing kidnapping horror case after finding 10 children in the care of a woman accused of locking up four mentally-disabled people in a dank cellar.
"This is a very complicated case," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said late Tuesday.
"This is a very sad story. It makes no sense. When you look at the kids, the psychological trauma is pretty apparent. It's some of the worst things I've ever experienced."
A fourth suspect was meanwhile detained in the case after four mentally disabled adults were freed at the weekend having been held against their will in the filthy, dark, fetid cellar of a Philadelphia apartment house.
Authorities said they have now also arrested Jean McIntosh, Weston's 32-year-old daughter, who is believed to have aided the incarceration of the three men and one woman to cash in their social security checks.
