November 18Nov 18 Quote A half-naked woman was allegedly tortured and chained up in the backyard of a Texas home for months — leading to the arrest of five people who allegedly starved and shot at the defenseless victim with BB guns. The Austin Police Department responded to a home on the south side of the city around 9 a.m. Oct. 30 after a 911 call was made regarding a woman screaming for help and handcuffed to metal exercise equipment in the backyard, according to Austin officials. Officers arrived to find the unnamed woman suffering from severe injuries, naked from the waist down, and shackled to a punching bag stand. The first responders quickly attempted to free the woman, but “due to the conditions of the restraints,” they had to call in the Austin Fire Department to bring special equipment to cut through the metal. “The woman showed signs of physical distress and had visible injuries consistent with prolonged restraint,” police said. As they worked to free the woman, five adults inside the home noticed what was happening and tried to flee, but were immediately caught and detained. Police also found two small children living at the home who were placed in the care of Child Protective Services. The suspects — Michelle Garcia, 51, Crystal Garcia, 21, Mache Carney, 32, Juan Pablo Castro, 30, and Maynard Lefevers, 21 — had allegedly held the victim captive for months, police said. The victim told investigators that she’d been friends with Michelle Garcia, but stated that “at some point, they [the group] decided they no longer liked her,” and the five decided to keep her as a captive, according to an affidavit obtained by the Austin American-Statesman. She said she was forced to live outside for weeks and beaten whenever she tried to flee. It’s unclear when the victim was taken captive and exactly how long she was held. Detectives said the woman was fed just one plate of food a day and shackled to a metal exercise stand — sometimes with both wrists locked behind her. Michelle Garcia allegedly told investigators she limited the woman to one meal a day because she thought the victim had gotten “chunky.” However, investigators said the woman appeared severely malnourished. The victim also said that the night before being found, her pants slipped down and she “got in trouble.” She was then shot with a BB gun, cuffed to a backyard stand and left there half-naked overnight as “punishment” while temperatures plunged into the 40s, the affidavit revealed. During her captivity, she sustained extensive injuries, including open wounds, severe swelling of the wrists, loss of tissue from her hands and feet, widespread scarring from BB gun pellets, and significant facial trauma. After she was transported to a local hospital, doctors determined her injuries matched weeks of torture and restraint. Scans also found a BB was lodged in her right eye. Castro allegedly told police he shot the woman with an electric rifle-style BB gun because he “didn’t want to touch her.” He also allegedly admitted that when he would get home from work, he would grab the BB gun from his closet and “chase her around the yard,” expressing that he “f–king hates her,” according to the affidavit. One of the children found at the home — a 4-year-old boy identified as Castro’s son — said his dad shot the woman whenever she was “bad,” and that his mom, Carney, usually stood by and watched. All five suspects were arrested and charged with aggravated kidnapping, aggravated assault, injury to the elderly or disabled, and unlawful restraint. They are all locked up at the Travis County Jail on $305,000 bail. Carney and Michelle Garcia return to court on Nov. 18 and 21, while Crystal Garcia, Castro and Lefevers are set to appear on Dec. 15. The case remains under investigation.

November 18Nov 18 Which half was nekkid? If it was just arms and legs and head and counting that as half, I call bullshit. That's half clothed, which in this case is probably a good start but still not clothed enough.

She apparently is either elderly, or disabled, and throwing shade on either demographic, on account of physical appearance, is indicative of a shitty upbringing.

I sincerely apologize for looking at her friends and thinking that I would prefer to see her clothed. But in the same vein are you trying to criticize me for jumping to conclusions? Seems ironic given your take.

Literally three sentences in.
November 18Nov 18 I’m not sure that these paragons of virtue are going to present a rock solid united defense. I’m going to go out a limb and say the women defendants are going to say they were in fear of their lives from the men defendants and were not the real felons. I would bet a Texas aggravated kidnapping has a life sentence possibility, and that their best plea bargain would be something like 30-40 years without the possibility of parole.

Mensa! Flood the zone with so many incriminatory admissions that the prosecutors can’t remember which ones were which at trial!

November 18Nov 18 I've got information man! New shit has come to light! And, shit. Man. She kidnapped herself! Well sure man, look at it. A young trophy wife, in the parlance of our times, you know. And she owes money all over town, including to known pornographers. And that's cool...I'm saying she needs money, man.

It’s the opposite of that, this house is right behind the H-E-B at William Cannon and I 35. A mobile home at the entrance of a neighborhood.
