This case has almost completely been forgotten. If it had been a compound full of Christians planning school shootings, would it have dropped so completely from the headlines? What do you think?
“Two ‘extremist Muslim’ New Mexico compound suspects hit with new charges, authorities say,” by Elizabeth Zwirz, Fox News, August 24, 2018:
Authorities in New Mexico announced new charges Friday against two adults previously arrested at a compound linked to “extremist Muslims” regarding the death of a missing 3-year-old boy.
Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, the boy’s father, and Jany Leveille were charged with abuse of a child resulting in the death of a child and conspiracy to commit abuse of a child, Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe said in a Friday news release.
The new allegations come after health officials last week revealed a child’s remains that had been located at the compound were positively identified by the Office of the Medical Investigator as Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj, the defendant’s son.
The cause of death was not released.
“This has been a very involved and lengthy process, but it is the only lawful way to build a solid criminal case,” Hogrefe said. “We now know the child died on December 24, 2017 and was concealed at the compound, which was suspected early in the investigation.”
Leveille, who earlier this month was transferred to the custody of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), was returned Thursday to the custody of Taos County, “where she is still being held on Federal immigration charges, as well as state charges for eleven counts of child abuse,” authorities said.
