Police rescue 23-year-old Ohio woman held hostage in garage for days by serial kidnapper
The homeowner called 911, and said Mozingo Junior and Jones were discovered by her husband five hours earlier. The homeowner, who called Mozingo Junior their good friend, declined an interview with WEWS, but claimed she met the young woman on more than three occasions. Jones, however, disputed the claim.
“He used to live here. He paroled here at one time before he went back,” the homeowner told WEWS.
“Had a conversation online, she was going to go hang out with him, she, actually, I found out she got a ride to his place,” Barham told the station.
Mozingo Junior had been in prison three times for kidnapping, twice in Stark County, Ohio. He also spent time at Lorain Correctional for drug possession.
“My daughter is never going to be the same – her life as she knows it is over because he was allowed to walk out on these streets and that is not acceptable,” Barham told the outlet.
Mozingo Junior faces charges including kidnapping, unlawful restraint and felonious assault.
