One of three men accused of multiple felonies, including kidnapping; holding two females against their will, raping and assaulting them; and demanding ransom money earlier this year; is due in an area courtroom this week.
According to a probable-cause statement, members of multiple law-enforcement agencies arrived at the scene of the reported kidnapping at the Super 8 Motel in Higginsville and arrested the three men on April 26.
According to online court documents, Alain Gaspar Camarillo-Linan, Luis Angel Sierra-Vallina and Jaciel Acdala Mendez-Morales have been charged in the case. All are being held on cash-only bond from $500,000 to $750,000 at the Lafayette County Jail.
Each defendant entered a plea of not guilty on April 30.
Camarillo-Linan’s arraignment hearing is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. on Monday, August 20, at Lafayette County Circuit Court.
