Rudy Farias, the Texas teen who went missing eight years ago, was living with his mother the entire time, according to Houston police. According to a local activist who talked to Fox News, Rudy Farias has made abuse charges nearly a week after being discovered outside a church. According to the investigation, Rudy’s mother, Janie Santana, kept him hidden for nearly a decade.
“She’d ask him to pretend to be her father. According to activist Quanell X, “She told him that he had to be the husband.” He further said that Janie Santana threatened Rudy with arrest if he said anything. According to the report, detectives from the Houston Police Department’s missing people unit interviewed Rudy Farias and his mother, Janie Santana, on Wednesday at a hotel in the company of activist Quanell X. In a video posted on the Fox 26 Houston website, the activist revealed, “He said that she would make him sleep in a bed with her.”
‘I was tired of living like a slave’
Farias, then 17, was reported missing by his mother in 2015 after going on a stroll with his two dogs near his family’s house in northeast Houston. The dogs were later discovered, but the teen had fled. “He said he just got tired of her not respecting his boundaries and he wanted his own life,” Quanell X said. “His exact words were, ‘I was tired of living like a slave’.”
The case took an unexpected turn on Thursday when the man was discovered alive outside a church, with police reporting that the man had only been missing for a day, but he and his mother had kept the hoax going for eight years by using fake names. “His mother continued to deceive police by remaining adamant that Rudy was still missing,” police said.
Cops refuse activists’ claims
According to The Independent, cops denied the claims of abuse by his mother. According to the investigators, the district attorney would not pursue charges linked to “making fictitious reports.” Police refused to “discuss specifics of the interviews” and cannot confirm whether the stated contents of the interview are “entirely factual.”Officials were unable to explain the contradictions, but the protester repeated his accusations according to New York Post.
