GREECE, N.Y. (WHEC) — The cousins charged with kidnapping two children from their Greece foster home last year have been convicted by a jury.
Their biological father, 30-year-old Dimitri Cash, and his cousin, 23-year-old Joenathan Cash, were found guilty on all counts.
A woman named Kimara J. Pluviose was also arrested and charged after the two children were found in a vehicle police say she was driving in Montgomery, Alabama.
The children’s foster father testified that he came home to find his wife duct-taped, with cuts on her face, five hysterical children, and that the two kids were nowhere to be found.
Two days later, Dimitri Cash was arrested in Rochester.
