Man saves missing woman from cage in ex-wife's house
A man credited with rescuing a woman allegedly held captive for two months by an Indiana couple says the woman begged him to help her escape.
Ron Higgs told WEHT-TV that his ex-wife and her boyfriend were holding the woman in a small wooden cage, but that they allowed her out to cook and clean.
Mr Higgs said he visited Kendra Tooley and Ricky Roy House Jr and was dumbfounded when Tooley told him: “I’ve got a girl back here in a cage.”
Higgs, 61, told WFIE-TV the woman, who was reported missing on July 9, pleaded for help. He drove her to safety after convincing House and Tooley that he would not tell police.
The Posey County couple face preliminary charges of rape and criminal confinement.
