Mom Arrested in Fl, Daughter safe

Philadelphia, PA– Police have recovered video evidence at Philadelphia International Airport indicating Bonnie Sweeten, and 9 year old Julia Rakoczy, previously thought to be abducted, are now in Orlando, Florida.

Following almost 28 hours of multiple Law Enforcement agencies engaged in an all out man hunt for Sweeten and her daughter following her 911 calls alleging they had been kidnapped and in the trunk of the family car, the gig is up.

Although Sweeten used a fake ID and cash to purchase two one way tickets to Orlando International Airport yesterday, immediately following her calls to 911. It has been discovered that Ms. Sweeten is also a notary public, which would make it very easy to falsify an identity.

Sources close to the investigation have confirmed to blinkoncrime that Sweeten has a prior arrest record, and has recently been accused of embezzling over $300,000 through her work at The Carltiz Foundation, located in New Hope, PA. Sweeten was the asisstant to the founder.

The Carlitz Foundation was founded by Debra Carlitz. Ms. Carlitz is a Pennsylvania attorney who in 2008 was given a one year suspension from the PA Supreme Court overseeing the PA bar for one year. Calls to the office of Ms. Carlitz were not returned.

Feasterville, PA– As the investigation into the alleged abduction of Bonnie Sweeten, 38, and her daughter, 9 year old Julia Rakoczy enters it’s second full day; investigators have more questions than answers.

Sweetens former husband and Julia’s Father, Anthony Rakoczy appeared this morning on NBC’s the Today Show and Good Morning America. He had last seen his daughter on Memorial Day.

“I’m still in shock,” he said on NBC’s Today show. “She’s a great mother.”

“I was thinking that this is not real, that this is stuff you see on TV.” He described Sweeten as very organized, on top of her children’s many activities, and as someone with no known enemies. “I don’t understand why anyone would want to keep them,” he said. “Just let them go.”

Yesterday, at approximately 1:47PM, Bonnie Sweeten called 911 and reported her and her daughter Julia were forced into a late 90’s model, dark colored Cadillac following a  “fender bender” on Street Road and Central Avenue while exchanging insurance information. Sweeten claimed 2 black males forced them into the trunk, where she was  also calling them from. In her initial call, she told police the child was with her. Where it becomes unclear, is that in her subsequent calls, she changes her account and states her daughter is in the rear of the Denali. Police were able to trace the initial and subsequent calls to the same cell tower in Center City.
