How can someone have all that shit on their record and NOT be in prison for a looong time?
That bitch killed that precious little girl!

[Harvest Moon]

Thanks LC. Nice lists there. Explains why RL does not drive 3^rd offense DUI, probably lost his license for a long, long time. No substance abuse record for Lena, so why is the pretrial officer recommending substance abuse counseling?

[Lady Cop]

because they were caught with illegal "bath salts". which is a synthetic designer drug. (post 296)

(not the bath salts you buy at the drug store. or epsom salts.)

I know about the purchase of "bath salts", but wonder if there is not more behind the story. Was she using drugs while she was pregnant? Did the twins test positive for drugs when they were born?

none of that information has been made public that i'm aware of. especially about the condition of the newborns.

i hope her bond is revoked on the 28^th. it should be.

U.S. District Magistrate John Kaull has set a hearing for November 28^th. Lunsford is expected to attend. She was a no show at her hearing last week because she was said to be in labor, but her attorney pleaded not guilty for her on her behalf.

Neither of Lunsford's attorneys immediately commented Wednesday.

Eyewitness News attempted to contact Lena and Ralph on Wednesday. We visited both their Dennison Street home, and the home of Lena's mother, JoAnn Evans, in Ireland.

No one was home at the Dennison Street home, and no one would come to the door at Evans' home.

We're told the Lunsford's frequently stay with Evans and are seen around town quite often.

According to Eyewitness News reporter Bob Aaron, a federal magistrate ruled today that Lena must live separately from her husband, Ralph, and she must enter into a drug rehab program. She WILL NOT be put on home confinement, in part, because there was no proof she was the one in possession of the bath salts. Lena and Ralph have also been evicted from their Bendale home.

ELKINS, W.Va. —

A woman whose 3-year-old daughter has been missing for more than two months was ordered Monday to live apart from her husband after he admitting buying and using synthetic drugs called bath salts.

U.S. Magistrate John Kaull also ordered 29-year-old Lena Lunsford to undergo drug counseling while she stays with her mother in Walkersville and awaits trial on federal welfare fraud charges. Prosecutors had asked for home incarceration, but Kaull denied that request.

Prosecutors accused Lunsford of violating two conditions of her pre-trial release — that she refrain from using bath salts and other drugs, and that she report any and all contact with law enforcement to her probation officer.

Kaull ruled that Lunsford violated one of those terms by failing to report her Nov. 1 interaction with a state trooper but said there was not enough evidence to conclude the bath salts called "Sextacy" were hers.

Lunsford and her husband, Ralph, were caught with the drugs outside a Clarksburg paraphernalia shop. But Ralph testified Monday that the drugs were his, that he believed they were legal to buy, and that his wife didn't know he had them until the trooper approached the car.

"She didn't know what I was doing," he said. "I never told her I was going to buy it."

During the nearly two-hour hearing, Trooper Dennis Cayton revealed that State Police have had the Lunsfords under steady surveillance since their daughter Aliayah vanished from the family's rented home in Bendale on Sept. 24.

Authorities have been tightlipped about their investigation but are treating her disappearance as a crime. They've named no suspects, made no arrests and refused to say what they think happened to the girl.

But Ralph Lunsford's testimony suggests he's been under scrutiny.

"I've been questioned by authorities day after day for the last month or two," he said when asked about the details of his discussion with Cayton earlier this month. "I can't remember every conversation."

Cayton said he and other officers have followed the couple on multiple visits to the Rosebud shopping plaza since Aliayah's disappearance. Lena Lunsford always drove, and Ralph Lunsford always entered the store.

On Nov. 1, Cayton said he anticipated where they were going and waited for them at the shop. Cayton said they arrived within five minutes, and when he later asked Ralph Lunsford what he'd bought, he produced a $52 package of bath salts from his wallet. The 500 mg pouch is touted as a combination of Viagra and the club drug Ecstasy.

Lena Lunsford didn't express any surprise about her husband's purchase, Cayton said.

The magistrate, however, said that lack of reaction could indicate either self-control or knowledge of what her husband had.

Nor is it yet clear whether the bath salts are even illegal under West Virginia law. That will be determined by its chemical composition, and Cayton said he's still awaiting the results of lab testing.

Ralph Lunsford said he started ingesting the drugs about a year ago but denied he did it to get high.

"It just gives you more energy," he said.

He acknowledged using about one packet of bath salts a week but said he didn't know the difference between a brand that sells for $27 and the higher-priced variety. He said he never bought the drugs for his wife, never shared them with her and never discussed them with her.

"She takes me places and don't ask me questions about what I'm doing," he said.

Lunsford said his wife has not taken him to the Clarksburg shop since Nov. 1 and said the two have been living apart since they were evicted from their home.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Shawn Morgan said the landlord claims he is owed more than $1,400, suggesting the couple were at least three months behind on rent.

"So you haven't been paying rent, but you've been buying bath salts?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'd say you're right," he answered.

Weeks after their daughter's disappearance, Lena Lunsford was indicted on multiple counts of welfare fraud, accused of swapping credits on her food stamp card for $50 cash five times in two months. She has pleaded not guilty.

The Lunsfords and public defender Brian Kornbrath refused to speak to reporters after the hearing.

Lena Lunsford has seven children, including Aliayah and infant twin girls.

Man I hate this women or thing even, I don't understand how people see her all over town and say nothing to her, well from what I have read, people just stare at her, I think I would spit in her face!!!

LC, I have a question for you..... this was posted on one of the LC sites and am wondering how true it could be, seems a bit odd to me that FBI would ask this, but then I have no idea really how FBI or LE work?

"Vickie Bowen (Great Aunt) has said that the FBI has asked her to put the open letters to LL & RL on all of the FB pages. They asked her to be as graphic as possible. And that they are wanting people to really get pissed and start going up to LL & RL and mouth off to them. They said that LC peeps haven't put any pressure on RL & LL besides on FB and that they don't want violence, or people actually breaking laws, but that when people just freeze & stare at them in WM, that isn't helping things because they are getting more & more cocky as the days go by".

Jez: "posted on one of the LC sites...

[Lady Cop]

[Jezreel]

I cant link it as you wont be able to view it, best i can is copy and paste :s

[Harvest Moon]

There is no top secret rumor mill page. It is all being posted out in the public. I don't want to take this tread down that track, because this thread is all about the poor missing BABY Aliayah. Yes, a 3 year old is still a baby, even if the family have made her up to look older.
