U.S.: Hiding behind Grandma’s wall: A grandson, missing for two years

  • He was the subject of a custody battle. Six-year-old Richard Chekevdia was hidden in a small room in his grandmother’s house for nearly two years after his mother temporarily lost custody of the boy. Shannon Wilfong was charged with kidnapping him, but authorities couldn’t find the Benton, Illinois resident. Both Wilfong and her mother were arrested, and the boy is happy to go outside again. source
