March 16, 2010 was a life changing day for a woman in Virginia we will call “Melanie.” Investigators from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office were called to a home in Waldorf, Maryland to assist a Hispanic female who was gang raped. When they arrived at the scene, they found a distraught woman who had been attacked.

Through the investigation, police discovered that Melanie went out earlier in the night to a place called “Fast Eddie’s” nightclub in Virginia. Detective Jack Austin said she met and exchanged numbers with a man who called himself “Francisco.” When the nightclub closed, Melanie didn’t have a ride home, and Francisco, later identified as Lionicio Argueta, said he would take her home. Detective Austin says when Melanie got in his vehicle there were several other Hispanic males in the back seats. She knew there was a problem when she heard Argueta on the phone saying something to the effect that he had one he was bringing down to the house.

A fun night out turned into a nightmare when she was taken inside the house off Country Lane. Once inside, Detective Austin says an unknown Hispanic male later identified as Jose Maria Echebarria told her to strip down naked or she would be killed.

Melanie, scared to death, complied and was forced to stand naked surrounded by men she didn’t know. Austin says she was ordered to have sex with the men there, and if she didn’t they would kill her. Echebarria allegedly ordered her to perform oral and vaginal sex with him, and investigators say as this was happening the men were standing around throwing up their gang signs and taunting her.

CHRISTMAS MIRACLE RECOVERY

UPDATE:  Great news this holiday, authorities say Officer Mike Burns spotted the abductors vehicle and chased the driver down.  The officer alerted his department that he was onto the suspect, and spike strips were put across the roadway.  When the suspect drove over the strips, his tires went flat.  He bailed out of his truck and ran on foot.  Officers caught up to him about a block away, arrested the man, and he’s being held on charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault on a police officer, and felony pursuit.  Natalie was found alive, and well, and returned to her family this holiday.  Normally in stranger abduction cases, you don’t see this kind of happy ending — and it’s even better that this miracle occurred on Christmas.  Great work Officer Burns — Thank you for all you’ve done.
