NORTHEAST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. – Investigators from Biscayne Park Police are concerned about a 16-year-old teenager after his two siblings were found in Northeast Miami-Dade after being reported kidnapped from Tennessee, but he has not been located.
Their mother, 45-year-old Sandra Bates, faced a Miami-Dade County Judge after being arrested on an out-of-state warrant for kidnapping.
It was then discovered that Sandra and her brother and sister had been reported kidnapped from Tennessee nearly a year ago.
“We don’t want to let the mother just get away with kidnapping charges if there were other things that happened to these children,” Swartz said.
Their mother, Sandra, is expected to be extradited back to Memphis, Tenn.
