The mother of a man, 25, who allegedly vanished in 2015 say police want to 'arrest her' after her son claimed he'd been held hostage by her and sexually abused, as relatives claim they 'knew he was never missing.'
Rudy Farias was 'found' on June 29 in the doorway of a church in Houston, Texas, eight years after his mother Janie Santana reported him missing.
Santana, a frequent poster on true crime chat boards on Facebook, announced his discovery and said he was in an extremely poor physical state, and unable to speak.
The story took an astonishing turn on Wednesday as Farias and Santana, spoke to detectives at a Houston hotel, with a mediator - local New Black Panther leader and community activist Quanell X.
Quanell told reporters Farinas claimed he had been sexually abused and hidden by his mother for the last eight years.
Santana, who works overnight as a security guard and took Farinas with her to work in the evenings and kept him largely hidden from view in the day, according to reports, was recorded by neighbors saying she expected to be arrested.
'When he first went missing, he didn't report it to the police,' Santana claimed on Wednesday, speaking as she got out of her car in front of her home.
'And they are trying to say that he might have done some crimes. Which he didn't.
'And now they want to arrest me. Because they said I was hiding him.'
As news of Farias' shocking claim spread, relatives and neighbors began saying they knew he was not missing.
Farias' cousin said she told police in 2018 he was at his mother's house, and his grandmother had seen and spoken to him.

What the what? Are we sure this is true?
Is True Crime meant to be advice for criminals?
Well, this is some crazy story! You can tell that by how Quannell X is NOT the crazy person in the story.
This kid will never recover.
It basically is and so is prison itself.
I saw a news report about it. They tried interviewing the mother, but she wasn’t having it.
When asked about the sexual assault claims, Quanell said he did not want to go into details about the 'kissing.'
After he was asked again, he replied: 'Let me ask you a question - if your mother is tongue kissing you in the bed with her naked, what the h*** is that? This is sick.'
Quanell claimed Santana kept her son hidden and convinced him he had to hide because police were looking for him to put him in jail.
The local figure said he asked Farias why he ran away, and Farias told him: 'I was tired of living like a slave.'
He claimed: 'Based on what that boy told me, I don't see why she's not in handcuffs right now.
'He was petrified but the minute he was by himself he calmed down. I believe she was drugging the hell out of this kid.
'He said he didn't like getting in the bed with her, that he would try to sneak out of the bed but she told him he had to be her husband.'
Neighbors, family members including grandmother knew and remained silent. They should all be locked up. Disgusting.
I’d like to know of the ones all pictured how many voted Biden.
Don’t believe anything Quannell says.
25 - kid? I think not. This apparently began when he became an adult. SO....
Lie from the pit of hell that wants people to stay stuck in fear from trauma and unforgiveness.
In our current world of leaning on medical/psych help sure it looks doubtful.
Thank God, He is able and could very well help this young man recover. Many many have been set free and overcome abuse and mental trauma by trust in and the help of God and people who believe in the truths of The Father, Son and Holy Spirit, instead of throw their hands up early on and say “never”.
True that. If he "went missing" in 2015 (8 years ago) then he was 17 at the beginning. That's a minor in most states, but very much able to escape at various points, especially if she was taking him to work.
One of the detectives says she kept him drugged.
So the term moff#$@!% is real and not just a favorite black slang word.
I’m guessing he’s mentally challenged.
Hunter Thompson famously coined the rallying cry, “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro!” This being a prime example for 2023.
