On November 2, 2014 on a dark and lonely
street in Philadelphia, a 22 year old nursing assistant named Carlesha Freeland
Gaither walked home from a party. She would not make it home that morning,
because a 37 year old predator by the name of Delvin Barnes abducted her. She
struggled with him. She broke out the windows of the car he drove and place her
in,but He proved to be strong for her and took her captive.
A worthless coward who witnessed the
horrific scene from a car that was seen on surveillance cameras driving up
behind Delvin Barnes car, backed up and drove away. That coward could have at least notified
police of the abduction. Instead, he left the young woman to unspeakable
horrors.
Delvin Barnes is truly a man of irrational
thinking. He had a warrant for attempted Capital murder. Instead of laying low
and hiding, he stalked and abducted Carlesha Freeland Gaither.
He drove her to Baltimore, Maryland and used her ATM card. Didn’t it occur to him
that he would be on camera? I guess not. He was seen again on a surveillance camera
in a grocery store. So, he was seen on surveillance cameras on three occasions.
This allowed
law enforcement to capture him and save Carlesha from harm. I was disturbed at
the abduction. The mistreatment of an innocent young woman made me sick to my
stomach. The man who drove up behind Delvin Barnes during the abduction and ran
away, made me ashamed to be a man. He had the chance to stop a crime. Instead,
he ran away like a frightened school boy.
Despite the situation, Carlesha had the courage and strength to
fight Delvin Barnes. Truly this young woman proved that she is worthy to be
admired. I was relieved to learn that
she was found and that monster Delvin Barnes was placed in custody. I hope
justice prevails and makes an example of him and all others who feel that crime
is worth the effort.
Carlesha Freeland Gaither - a woman of courage and amazing strenght.
