Missouri Foster Mom Accused Of Trading Child For Exotic Monkey

Thursday, April 10, 2025 at 8:00 PM

A 70-year-old Missouri woman who has fostered over 200 children has been accused of trading a child for an exotic monkey. The child's age is unclear, but she is likely a teenager under 17 years of age. Lincoln County Sheriff Rick Harrell said his office would not comment, but it was confirmed that a handful of monkeys were found at the suspect's house. "It was described to me early on was that the defendant here...became frustrated with this individual child and asked her friend in Texas if she would just take the child," Lincoln County Prosecutor Mike Wood said. "We will have to further investigate whether that was actually a trade for the child or if it was something that does not rise to the level of any type of trafficking." (NBC News)
