Rudy Farias’ Mom Speaks Out after Her ‘Scared’ Son Revealed She Kept Him ‘Slave’ for 8 Years
On July 6, 2023, KPRC 2’s Corley Peel shared a short Twitter clip of Rudolph “Rudy” Farias IV’s mother, Janie Santana, speaking out in public for the first time. At the time, Santana was talking to her neighbors and was recorded while leaning against a car.
Peel revealed that the clip was taken the night before, and she said that the police were treating her as a suspect in her son’s missing person case. The reporter also shared that she spoke to Farias IV’s cousin, who once called the police in 2018 after his family saw him at his mother’s house when he was supposed to be missing.
He revealed that he received an emergency call from detectives asking him to meet with them, Santana and Farias IV, at a hotel. The victim asked to speak to the activist, and a detective stayed put as they spoke one-on-one for about an hour and twenty minutes.
Quanell X admitted that the things he heard from Farias IV, 25, were so “horrific,” he tried holding his tears back so the victim wouldn’t see him crying but failed. The young man said he’d initially run away when taking the dogs for a walk but returned home two days later.
