Some neighbors hide scary skeletons in their closets.

White West Virginia, USA couple Jeanne Kay Whitefeather, 63, and her husband, Donald Lantz, 64, adopted five Black children from a shelter for homeless and vulnerable youths in Minnesota seven years ago.

In October 2023, a neighbor saw Lantz lock a girl and her teenage brother in a shed and leave. The neighbor reported it to the police, and a welfare check at the home in Sissonville found the children in the shed with no running water or bathroom.

Police said the children had been “deprived of adequate hygienic care and food” by sleeping on the concrete floor and being locked inside for about 12 hours before they were found, New York Daily News (NYDN) reported.

Another girl was found inside the home. Lantz brought home another child when he returned and led police to a fifth child from his friend’s home, according to WCHS-TV of Charleston.

The Kanawha County Sheriff found the couple used the children as “slaves” because of their race. They were charged with human trafficking, child neglect, forced labor, and other crimes, according to NYDN.

On 19 March, a court sentenced Whitefeather to 215 years in prison and Lantz to 160 years, NYDN reports.

Meanwhile, beekeeping is just a front for a Rwandan refugee with a dark past.

FBI agents arrested Faustin Nsabumukunzi at his Bridgehampton home in Long Island, New York, on 24 April for allegedly making false statements in his applications for a visa, green card, and United States citizenship, NYDN reports.

Nsabumukunzi applied for refugee status in the US in 2003 and was allowed to enter the country in 2004 after denying involvement in the 1994 Rwandan genocide, according to the report.

He received his Green Card in 2007 by repeating the denial and has been trying to become a naturalized citizen ever since, the FBI alleged.

The FBI, however, learned that he directed rapes and murders of minority Tutsis and moderate Hutus during the ethnic cleansing in Rwanda.

The indictment of Nsabumukunzi also cited prosecutors’ allegations that many witnesses described him as one of the leaders of the genocide in Kibirizi, that a community-based Rwandan court tried and convicted him in absentia and gave him a life sentence in 2008, that the public prosecutor of Rwanda indicted him for genocide in 2014, and that Interpol issued a wanted notice for him in 2016.
