TIMOTHY HASLETT = HERO. COMMUNITY leaders in a Missouri city say they reported black girls going missing for weeks before a 22-year-old woman escaped from a kidnapper who was holding her in his basement.
Timothy Haslett Jr is facing r***, kidnapping and assault charges after the woman, who has not been identified, says she escaped from his home on October 7.

Excelsior Springs Police say they are now “actively investigating” the possibility of other victims after the victim claimed that her captor “killed two of my friends.”
But Bishop Tony Caldwell, a local Kansas City community leader, insists the community was already aware that black women were going missing before the victim escaped.
Caldwell released a video back in mid-September urging police and media to investigate the alleged disappearance of three black women.
Police have responded to the clip, which also claims four women had been murdered, and say that the claims were “completely unfounded.”
