Michael Devlin, who has already been charged with the kidnappings of Ben Ownby and Shawn Hornbeck, has now been charged with the molestation and sodomy of the two boys. We knew eventually these charges were going to be brought forth and the unpleasant reality of what these two boys went through would come to light after authorities found Ben Ownby and Shawn Hornbeck in Devlin’s apartment.

Devlin, a 41-year-old pizzeria manager who had previously been charged with two counts of kidnapping, was charged with 69 counts of forcible sodomy, all felonies and each punishable by up to life in prison.
St. Louis County prosecutor Robert McCullough said 18 of the counts related to an abduction last month, and the remaining counts were related to an abduction several years ago, apparent references to the Jan. 8 disappearance of 13-year-old Ben Ownby and the 2002 kidnapping of Shawn Hornbeck, now 15.
For the four days he was held, Ben was molested four times a day, prosecutors said. (AP)

UPDATE I: Police Intensify Search For Missing Woman
Police take their search for a missing Michiana woman to the skies.
Wednesday, South Bend Police used an Indiana State Police helicopter to fly along the St. Joseph River and the area surrounding Vivian Borysiak’s home.
On Saturday, police found Borysiak’s car running outside her condo with her purse still inside.
After an extensive ground search with a K9 unit, investigators tried to get on the river Tuesday, but the frigid weather kept them on shore.
South Bend Police Capt. Phil Trent says, “The area northeast of that housing complex is undeveloped and streches all the way from St. Joseph’s High School to Saint Mary’s before there’s any development in there. So, it’s such a big piece of real estate, that’s why we’re happy to use a helicopter rather than trying to do this on the ground.”
