A Florida couple has been arrested and charged with child neglect after authorities said four children were kept inside the cab of a tractor-trailer for nearly seven years, with little opportunity to bathe, use a proper restroom or spend time outside.

The suspects were identified as 51-year-old Keisha Epps and her 37-year-old fiancé, Tamra Marshon Stewart.

According to court documents, the children had reportedly been living with the couple inside the truck cab since December 2019 while Epps worked as a truck driver.

Investigators said the children had gone for years without proper bathing and had not taken a shower for about five years. They were also reportedly denied regular opportunities to exercise or spend time outside the vehicle.

The children were allegedly poorly fed and did not receive proper medical or dental care.

Court records further stated that the prolonged confinement affected the children’s physical condition, with investigators saying they developed an unnatural walking pattern.
During an interview with investigators, one of the children reportedly recalled suffering a serious burn after being injured by cooked noodles.

The child said:

“There were alot of blood”

According to the report, the child was not taken to receive medical treatment after the incident and was left with a permanent scar.

The children reportedly told investigators that Stewart would look after them while Epps slept, showered or drove the truck.
Children Reportedly Witnessed Abuse

The children also made disturbing claims about what they witnessed inside the truck.

According to their statements, they reportedly witnessed Stewart sexually abusing Epps. When the children confronted him about the behaviour, they said Stewart responded by punching them in the head.

One of the children was also reportedly found to have an untreated sexually transmitted infection.

The four children reportedly shared a single bunk inside the truck cab. Court records said the space was so small that they had to sleep “curled up side by side because they could not fit.”
Couple Arrested

Epps and Stewart were arrested on August 6, 2026, according to a heavily redacted report filed by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

Both suspects were charged with four counts of child neglect, with one count relating to each child.

Each charge is a third-degree felony carrying a possible sentence of up to five years in prison, up to five years of probation and a fine of up to $5,000.

Investigators said their conduct amounted to a “committed, willful failure or omission to provide a child with the care, supervision, and services necessary to maintain the child’s physical and mental health, including but not limited to, food, nutrition, clothing, shelter, supervision, medicine and medical services that a prudent person would consider essential to the wellbeing of the child.”

Court documents also state that “capital sexual battery charges” against Stewart are expected to be filed by the Statewide Prosecutor in the 9th Judicial District.

Under Florida law, a person convicted of sexual battery involving a child younger than 12 can face life imprisonment without parole or, in certain circumstances, the death penalty.

Authorities have not publicly released the children’s identities or other personal details. Their sexes, ages and relationships to one another and to Epps and Stewart were redacted from the documents.

Epps and Stewart remain in Duval County Jail as they await trial. Bond for Epps was set at $400,012, while Stewart was being held without bond.

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested a 101-year-old great-grandmother for dealing in illicit drugs and also intercepted cocaine concealed in edible cassava flour popularly known as fufu.

In a rare and startling development, NDLEA operatives on Saturday, August 15, arrested a 101-year-old woman, Esther Ogunmabo, in Ilisan, Ogun state, with retail sachets of skunk, a strain of cannabis weighing 90 grams, which she claims she sells to locals.

The centenarian told operatives that she resorted to the illicit drug trade after her provisions shop was razed by fire, adding that one of her daughters, who resides in Lagos, arranges the supply of the substance to her every four days, which she in turn sold in bits.

The Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, Brig Gen Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), has, however, directed that the suspect be granted bail and placed on counselling because of her advanced age, while her daughter has been arrested.

According to Vainess’ uncle, Derrick Bwalya, he received a call informing him that his niece had been found unconscious near a market.

When he arrived at the scene, he found people gathered around Vainess.

Recounting what he saw, Bwalya said:

“I found my niece bleeding from the nose and she was unresponsive and when I attempted to take her to the hospital, I was told that she had already died”

Bwalya said the matter was reported to the police. He explained that Vainess had been living with her husband in the same area before she went to confront the woman, who reportedly lived in Kapoto.

One of Vainess’ daughters was reportedly with her when the incident occurred. After seeing her mother lying unconscious, the child reportedly rushed home and informed other family members.

A post-mortem examination was later conducted, with the family saying it showed that Vainess died from blood clots on both sides of the brain.

The family subsequently laid her to rest on Friday.

Bwalya said the family is demanding justice for Vainess and believes that the person responsible should face the law.

He also called on Vainess’ husband to cooperate with the police and assist investigators in locating the suspect, who is reportedly still on the run.

Vainess leaves behind three children, with her youngest child said to be five years old.

A Florida mother identified as Meliza Campos-Sanchez has been arrested on charges of child abuse, child neglect and first-degree arson after authorities responded to a fire at her home.

The arrest came after Campos-Sanchez reportedly shared a video on Instagram showing disturbing behaviour involving her two daughters and a fire inside the kitchen. The post was later deleted.

According to reports, the video was shared on Sunday, about a week after her husband had reportedly contacted authorities over concerns for the safety of their children while they remained in their mother’s care.

In the video, Campos-Sanchez was reportedly seen wearing a silver mask while dancing around the kitchen. She allegedly held a lighter and poured a flammable liquid onto a pile of clothes before watching the flames spread.

Authorities later found a silver mask, a lighter and flammable liquid inside the home while investigating the fire.

During questioning, Campos-Sanchez’s eldest daughter reportedly told police that she and her younger sister witnessed their mother start the fire. The girl also said her mother threw a glass mug onto the floor while dancing before the children used a bowl of water to put out the flames.

Police also spoke with Campos-Sanchez’s husband, who was not at the home when the incident occurred. According to People magazine, he told investigators that the couple had been experiencing marital problems and that he had been staying with his parents.

He also reportedly told police that his wife had attempted suicide shortly before the incident and that he had contacted the sheriff’s office a week earlier because he was worried about the safety of their children.

Campos-Sanchez now faces charges relating to the incident as authorities continue to investigate what happened inside the home.

Her father also claimed that his daughter had received death threats from two men over alleged repayment of money.

According to him, the threats had caused concern within the family, and he believes the individuals involved may have been connected to her killing.

However, the allegations made by the family remain part of the ongoing investigation.
Bibi had reportedly built a huge following on TikTok, where she had been creating content for several years.

Speaking about his daughter, her father said:

“My daughter Shamso Bibi used to make TikTok videos and had been doing so for nearly three to four years……It had over 30-35 million likes and over one million followers,”

Following her death, her family reportedly deleted her TikTok account, while her YouTube page could also no longer be found.
