OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. (WESH) - Officials in Florida say a couple were arrested for abusing four children whom they allegedly held captive in a tractor-trailer for six years.
Keisha Epps, 51, and Tamra Stewart, 37, are facing multiple felony charges relating to the battering, molestation and neglect of four children, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Tuesday. The children were held captive in the sleeper cab of a tractor-trailer for six years, he said.
“This was a rolling prison,” Uthmeier said.
The victims in the case – two girls and two boys – ranged in age from 5 to 9 when the abuse began. The suspects were on the road nonstop, frequently traveling between Miami and Atlanta.
“This case is one of, if not the most horrific, that my team has ever had to work on,” Uthmeier said. “Here in Florida, we have zero tolerance for anybody that wants to hurt kids.”
Stewart allegedly sexually abused the two girls. When the boys confronted him or reported the abuse to Epps, they were physically assaulted and injured, Uthmeier said.
He says the victims were malnourished and rarely allowed to shower or use the restroom. They told investigators they had not been to school for about five years, nor had they seen a doctor or a dentist, according to the arrest report.
The suspects are now behind bars, and Uthmeier says the state plans to prosecute them to the fullest extent possible.
“We will pursue with everything we have the death penalty. We will seek executions if you want to come here and you want to physically molest, abuse and violate our little kids,” he said.
The investigation is ongoing, and additional charges may be filed, officials say.

SPJNK.....................
In a different time they’d get swift justice.
Is that even human? Damn... Just take it out back and shoot it. Geez.
“The suspects were on the road nonstop, frequently traveling between Miami and Atlanta.”
It couldn’t possibly be moving drugs, could it?
What a homely pair
Fry them
She could eat corn on the cob through a picket fence
A friend in the 60’s told me I could do that

Trick or Treat!
Maybe we should ask Laz for a professional opinion!...............
Imagine waking up next to that...................
Horrific ... were these children kidnapped by these monsters?
Glad they were finally caught and the kids will get much needed treatment.
Wait - Tamra is a dude? Of course, looks like Keisha might be as well.
I need some FLOTUS eye-wash STAT!
I’m ladylike and logical AND would be happy to shove a couple of rifles up their rear ends.
Must be independently wealthy to be able to afford the diesel going up and down I-75 for years.
The woman’s teeth scream meth.
Awful cubed.
A number of adults must have decided that these four kids did not matter, and never bothered to ask what had become of them over the past six years.
The article doesn’t say exactly what had to happen before police officers were put on this case?
What changed? Did somebody in the Child Care system finally decide to give a damn, so they began turning over filthy rocks until they found these two ‘people’ slithering about.
And if they voted, their vote counts the same as yours. Geee….again, if they voted, I wonder what party they voted for?…/s
They may have “voted” in Georgia and Florida. You know, dual residency.
