A disturbing discovery was made by police at a Minnesota home after a 14-year-old girl was reported missing from her school on May 26.
The parents of the girl called the Maplewood Police Department to report her missing, and the girl’s father told police the girl might have been at her friend’s home in Oakdale.
‘Her whole top half is out, and I’m like, “Whoa, what’s going on here? Why are you naked in front of a child?”‘
Police said they investigated the home and spoke to a woman named Angeline Olson. She told them the girl was not at the home but that she would take the girl home if she showed up there.
Police then said they returned to the home after a disturbing report from a neighbor at about 1:30 a.m.
“I came outside to smoke, and I’m minding my own business, and all of a sudden this little girl comes running past out her house, right in front of me, half naked,” said Teaira Vennes, the woman who called police.
“Next thing you know, Angel’s out the bushes, and Angel comes out naked. Like, her whole top half is out, and I’m like, ‘Whoa, what’s going on here? Why are you naked in front of a child?'” she added.
Police said the Olsons were argumentative and defied orders, so they were detained.
When police searched the home, they found the girl in a cardboard box that was under a pile of clothes in the Olson couple’s bedroom.
Police then obtained warrants to search the couple’s digital devices and found sexually explicit videos with the Olsons and the victim.
The couple was arrested, and 47-year-old Angeline Olson was charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Andrew Olson, 49, was charged with three counts of possessing child sexual abuse material.
Their neighbors, who were outraged and terrified by the incident, told KARE-TV that Child Protective Services had taken away their teenage children prior to the incident.
“It’s not just another story; it’s another f**king victim. It’s another little girl,” Vennes said. “After going through this, I couldn’t never imagine that happening to my daughter.”
“My client is presumed innocent and looks forward to clearing his name where it counts: in court,” said John Chitwood, the lawyer for Andrew Olson.
Andrew Olson faces up to 18 years in prison if convicted, while Angeline Olson faces up to 30 years if convicted.
“They need to be locked up. I hope that they are locked up for a very, very long time,” Vennes added.
