Police: Teens Rob Woman, 89, Force Her Into Car Trunk


Police say two girls robbed an 89-year-old Lincoln woman, forced her into a car trunk and drove around for about two days before releasing her in a cemetery miles from her Lincoln home, driving away in her car and later meeting up with three friends.

The girls, Jackeline H. Perez, 15, and Junia McDonald, 14, both of Milford, were at the Chicken Man Convenience Store in Milford at 11 a.m., March 18, when Margaret E. Smith, 89, of Lincoln, drove up, said Cpl. Gary Fournier of the Delaware State Police.

Fournier gives the following account:

The girls asked Smith for a ride to a Lincoln-area home, and Smith agreed. When they arrived at the home, the girls demanded Smith's car keys; Smith refused and struggled with them until the girls forcibly took the keys. They ordered Smith out of the car, forced her into the trunk and drove away with Smith inside the trunk. Jackeline and Junia also took more than $500 from Smith's coat pocket. They drove around for almost two days with Smith in the trunk giving her no food or water and leaving her overnight in the trunk while they stayed in a Seaford hotel. They eventually dropped Smith off in a cemetery on Calvary Road, off King Road, east of Seaford. Someone visiting the cemetery Wednesday morning saw her and called police.

Why is it that sometimes in Salisbury and Wicomico Co. they don't release the name of minors in order to protect them, yet in Delaware, you get arrested it's public knowledge?

They should lock up the parents of these worthless girls also. Throw away the key. Take a good look at the future of this area.

If the old lady can still swing a bat, they should give her 15 minutes with those two in a cell.

If they are 14 and 15 years old, why weren't their parents looking for them if they were out roaming around for 2 days? Evidently, they don't have an elderly grandmother in their lives, or they wouldn't have been able to do such a thing to a vulnerable old lady.

That's what happens when a child is thought of as nothing more than another check in the mail.

7:48 You just want to weep? You are a sorry Democrat with no gonads. Why not try to get our Country back to responsibility, and stop electing Democrats.

9:42 By no one's stretch of the imagination am I a democrat and this makes me want to cry also.
This should make any decent law biding responsible person cry because a lot of us are fed up.
We are fed up of not only living amoung these degenerates but fed up of feeding them, housing them and providing for them while they jump from bed to bed making more who will end up like themselves.
It's time to turn our backs on them and look down on them as they well deserve.
