Neighbor said Jorge Barahona was 'super paranoid,' records show

Jorge Barahona was given to paranoia and fears of conspiracies around him that he expressed to a neighbor, according to investigative materials released this week by the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office.
James Sheppard, 49, who lived next to Barahona and his wife, Carmen, for years before they were arrested and charged with murdering their adopted daughter, said that the couple mainly kept to themselves but that he did have occasional conversations with Jorge from yard to yard.
"He was always talking about conspiracy, about people breaking in, or keeping your gates locked," Sheppard said, according to transcripts of his March 15 interview with investigators. "He was really paranoid, super paranoid."
Miami (Miami-Dade, Florida) The newly released documents also provide more detail of the frustrations faced by Jorge Barahona's siblings in the days around the tragedy as they tried to report their worries to authorities and were repeatedly shunted from place to place.
Jorge and Carmen Barahona face first-degree murder charges, accused of killing Nubia Barahona, 10. Jorge is also accused of trying to kill Nubia's twin brother, Victor, and both he and Carmen face charges of aggravated child abuse and neglect. The two children were found by police on Feb. 14 in a pickup truck owned by Jorge, an exterminator, on the side of Interstate 95 in West Palm Beach.
Nubia was dead, found in a black plastic bag also filled with pesticide chemicals, in the back of the truck. Victor had been badly burned with chemicals but survived.
In another interview released this week, Yovani Perez, formerly married to Carmen Barahona's daughter, Jennifer, and the father of the Barahonas' 6-year-old granddaughter, said the girl, who often went to the Barahona house after school, came back with frightening stories in the days before the twins were found.
She said the twins were bound hand and foot, tied together and placed in the bathtub, where they spent hours. Perez asked his daughter why that was done to them and, according to Perez, the girl said Carmen had explained it to her:
"Because those are bad kids and they want to poison [Carmen] and Jorge," the girl allegedly said. "And that those kids have already put alcohol and some poison in their food."
In interviews with Carmen, released earlier, she told investigators that her husband was afraid because the children had threatened to kill him with rat poison and they had also put baby oil in his soda.
After hearing his daughter's account, Perez arranged to have the girl taken for counseling, and that meeting led the therapist, Lisa Reis, to call the hotline of the Department of Children & Families to report the possible abuse.
That was Feb. 10, but the DCF was not able to find the twins in time to save Nubia, who police think was beaten to death by Jorge, probably on Feb. 11.
